Medical academics are under immense pressure to publish papers, especially in higher-impact journals. And that’s in the Western world, where the idea of academic integrity was invented and (despite prominent deviations) cultural norms of fair play and neutral rules still tend to govern most collaborative activity in the public sphere.
