Abstract
Integrity in research and ethics in scientific communication were two issues that were discussed at the 4th World Conference on Research Integrity (4th WCRI), by ethicists, researchers, reviewers, authors, editors, publishers of insti-tutional scientific journals and corporate publishers, public funding agencies and private corporate funders, postgraduate students and the general public. Among the Brazilian nursing journals represented at the event were the Brazilian Jour-nal of Nursing (REBEn), the Journal of the USP School of Nursing (REEUSP) and the Anna Nery School Journal of Nursing.The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) biennially organizes the event, which was held in the city of Rio de Janeiro between 3 and 6 June 2015. This was the fourth version organized, at this time sponsored by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.Over four days the participants reflected on the risks of misconduct in re-search and scientific communication, which affect the credibility of science worldwide, especially among policy makers, and also in society at large.Misconduct in research has ethical, social, political and economic conse-quences, both for authors and for the institutions where research is developed because it generates false science
