Summary
Few Brazilian research institutions have research integrity guidelines, highlighting a need for increased awareness and regulatory development. Harmonizing these standards is crucial for ensuring research quality in Brazil.
Area of Science:
- Science and Technology Policy
- Higher Education Research
Background:
- Brazilian research output and collaborations are increasing annually.
- Harmonizing research integrity guidance is essential for maintaining research quality.
Purpose of the Study:
- To collect and analyze research integrity guidance documents from Brazilian research performing organizations (RPOs).
Main Methods:
- Documents were retrieved from 60 randomly selected Brazilian universities via websites and email.
- Inductive content analysis was applied to identify and analyze relevant documents.
Main Results:
- Relevant documents were found in 20 out of 60 institutions (28%).
- Guidelines varied in content, covering best practices, misconduct, principles, and sanctions.
- Institutions with guidelines were concentrated in the southeastern and southern regions.
Conclusions:
- A significant gap exists in research integrity guidance across Brazilian universities.
- There is a need to increase awareness and develop regulatory documents on research integrity.
- Further initiatives from research performing and funding organizations are required to foster research integrity and align with international standards.

Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...
