Resumo: The low quality of articles submitted to scientific journals and the artifices used for publishing – resulting from an academic evaluation policy based on the number of published papers, weighted by the journal’s score – is a growing concern among editors and researchers. This article discusses the notion of ‘productivism’ and the causal relation established between the pressure to publish and the paper quality, arguing that the problem, most of the times, is directly related to the very scientific production process. Issues regarding evaluation and the ethical principles involved in preparing and submitting papers are also discussed. It is suggested reading the documents approved on the 2nd World Conference on Research Integrity, which took place in Singapore, in 2010 – published here – which define international standards for journal editors and authors, and play an important role in researchers’ training.

Este artículo problematiza la noción de productivismo y la relación causal que se estabelece entre la presión para publicar y la calidad de los artículos, argumentando que el problema, en la mayoría de las veces, confronta directamente el propio proceso de la producción científica. Se discurre sobre temas relacionados con la evaluación y los principios éticos involucrados en la elaboración y sumisión de artículos. Se indica la lectura de los documentos aprobados en la 2ª Conferencia sobre la Integridad en la Investigación, que se llevó a cabo en Singapur, en el 2010 – publicados em esta edición – que establecen estándares internacionales para editores de revistas y para autores, y que constituyen un importante auxiliar en la formación de investigadores. A baixa qualidade de artigos enviados aos periódicos científicos e os ardis utilizados para publicar – que resultariam de uma política de avaliação acadêmica que valoriza a quantidade de trabalhos publicados ponderada pela pontuação das revistas – preocupam cada vez mais editores e pesquisadores. Este artigo problematiza a noção de produtivismo e a relação causal que se estabelece entre a pressão para publicar e a qualidade dos artigos, argumentando que o problema, no mais das vezes, se defronta diretamente com o próprio processo da produção científica. Discorre-se sobre questões relacionadas à avaliação e aos princípios éticos envolvidos na elaboração e submissão de artigos. Indica-se a leitura dos documentos aprovados na 2ª Conferência sobre a Integridade na Pesquisa, ocorrida em Cingapura, em 2010 – publicados nesta edição – que estabelecem padrões internacionais para editores de periódicos e para autores, e que constituem um importante auxiliar na formação de pesquisadores.Fundação Carlos Chagas2014-03-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://publicacoes.fcc.org.br/cp/article/view/2699Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 44 No. 151: jan./mar.2014; 16-32Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 44 Núm. 151: jan./mar.2014; 16-32Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 44 No. 151: jan./mar.2014; 16-32Cadernos de Pesquisa; v. 44 n. 151: jan./mar.2014; 16-321980-53140100-1574reponame:Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas.
