HORTIGUELA ALCALA, David; GONZALEZ CALVO, Gustavo  and  HERNANDO GARIJO, Alejandra. Valoración del investigador sobre los códigos éticos en el ámbito científico. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2017, vol.39, n.155, pp.38-50. ISSN 0185-2698.

The purpose of this study is to inquire into the ethical principles that should be applied to the scientific code for research. To this end a qualitative analysis was conducted, through an interpretive action model, of the perception of six Spanish university professors from varying specializations within the social sciences field. A discussion group was conducted as an instrument for further investigation into this focus of study. Results indicate how professors with less experience and lower academic rank perceive more difficulties when adapting to the demands of evaluating agencies. Professors with higher academic rank recognize the impossibility of publishing varied, high-quality scientific material in the short term. The articles ends by proposing the need to review professor accreditation models, considering both contributions made by researchers and their multidisciplinary projection.
