This paper aims at exploring how faculty research behaviour changes before, during, and after promotion.
Writing in The Lancet last month, editor Richard Horton argued that as much as half of all scientific papers may simply be "untrue". He writes: "The apparent endemicity of bad research behaviour is alarming.
The aim is to provide a clearer understanding of what research behaviour is deemed appropriate or not, which stakeholders it affects, and the pressures and incentives likely to exacerbate such misconduct.
The main findings include: (1) behavioral reinforcement theory receives support; (2) among different field groups, the research behaviour change curve of the natural sciences and engineering faculty best fits the theory; (3) different levels of anticipated promotion rewards have different effects for motivating subjects to publish.
In our research, behaviour improved in a substantial proportion of children (at least 40%).
Our study adds to the growing body of empirical evidence on research behaviour.
