Abstract

This paper set out to examine the knowledge levels, attitudes, and practices of Moroccan doctoral students regarding research and publication ethics. It adds to the body of knowledge on research ethics in the humanities and social sciences and stimulates reflection and discussion on research integrity and research misconduct from students' perspectives. The study utilized a cross-sectional design survey aimed at investigating postgraduate students' understandings and practices of ethical decision-making while conducting research. The findings confirmed the hypothesis that ethical research training and institutional review boards have a significant positive influence on doctoral students' ethical decision making.  The obtained findings establish a foundation for a more extensive discussion of academic integrity in Moroccan higher education institutions.
