This work emerged in the midst of reflections built with master’s and doctoral students participating in the course “Ethics in Research: challenges and dilemmas in the Human Sciences and Education,” offered by the Graduate Program in Education at the Faculty of Education of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). The text arises from the need to act within the reality of research and from the perception that academic writing, followed by the publication of research results, is an important way to take an activist stance, as advocated by Stetsenko (2021). After emphasizing the need for an appropriate ethical commitment in research processes, necessary reflections on combating all forms of fraud, such as plagiarism and self-plagiarism, are presented. Finally, it is argued that an epistemology of destination should guide an ethical, activist, and transformative stance in the Human Sciences and Educational research.
Keywords: Ethics in research. Epistemology. Academic research.
