The BCCIOH typifies three types of scientific crime, recognized as serious among the international academic community, as fraudulent conduct, according to the US Office for Research Integrity (ORI):- Forgery: according to the National Science Foundation, it is defined as the manipulation of materials, processes or data to modify results, to achieve an interpretation tailored to private interests.- Manufacture of data: practice that consists of presenting results of experiments that have not been carried out, or investigations in which statistical methods are used to endorse 'constructed' results.- Plagiarism: considered a type of scientific fraud for taking as its approaches, methodologies or results, also false authorship. A variant of this fraudulent conduct is 'self-plagiarism', which occurs when the author submits manuscripts with parts of articles already published to arbitration. Identifying these practices during the peer review process or in the BCCIOH Editorial Committee session disapproves the manuscript, considering it an attack on the intellectual property of the author-researchers.
