Integrity matters in oncology: AORTIC takes a stand against research misconduct

Résumé

Oncology is a rapidly evolving field globally, with a growing need to maintain research integrity. The African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer (AORTIC) has initiated a comprehensive training program to enhance research quality and integrity in African oncology. This program covers topics such as predatory publishing, data manipulation, plagiarism, “paper mills,” gender equity, and the critical appraisal of clinical trials and meta-analyses beyond statistical significance. This emphasizes the importance of ethical conduct and responsible research in enhancing cancer care through research. The commitment of the AORTIC serves as a model for other oncology societies in low- and middle-income countries, highlighting the importance of education and training to reduce disparities in cancer research and empower African researchers.
