FFP (fabrication, falsification, plagiarism)

FFP refers to serious ethical violations in research and academic work. Fabrication involves making up data or results that never happened. Falsification means altering or manipulating research data or processes to misrepresent findings. Plagiarism is copying someone else's work, ideas, or words without proper credit. These actions undermine trust, compromise the integrity of scientific progress, and can lead to severe consequences such as retraction of publications, damage to reputation, and loss of professional standing. Upholding honesty and transparency is essential to maintain the credibility and reliability of scholarly work.
