During the research process, students must successfully overcome various tasks. One of the most important tasks is ethical principles. Throughout the doctoral candidacy, students are held to certain standards of conducting themselves with integrity and originality. At the end of the doctoral program, students must submit a research that contributes to a theory of their specialization. This paper reviews several articles that provide issues involved in ethical misconduct during the research/dissertation process. In order for a student to be considered as a scholar, they must achieve every task required and ensure that all of their work is original.

Nonetheless, a doctoral level education is needed in competitive markets and the demand of new industry and university partnerships and governments is in need of specialized human capital, to build on advanced knowledge economies (Halse & Bansel, …show more content…
Doyle & Buckley (2014) added that even current best practices in ethics seems not enough when it comes to education, instead the integration of ethics across all curriculum should be favored. They included that with the diverse community of students, with full and part time employees, the ethical concerns are being raised with conducting a research. Of course, there should be some level of ethical concern with every student, due to the possibility of a student already being affected by unethical behavior of society. However, there are some students that have some sense of moral judgment that will not affect their behavior, despite the events surrounding
