This review discusses the prevalence of these unethical behaviours, their far-reaching consequences on patient care, and the Orthopaedic field's credibility. It highlights the need for effective strategies to promote ethical standards, emphasizing the importance of awareness among researchers and clinicians. The article outlines specific unethical practices, including data manipulation, which distorts treatment efficacy, and plagiarism, which diminishes originality and wastes peer review resources. Additionally, it addresses biased reporting and conflicts of interest, which can compromise objectivity in research findings. The review advocates for collaborative efforts among institutions and journals to foster accountability and transparency, ultimately encouraging a culture of ethical conduct within the Orthopaedic community. By ensuring rigorous standards and practices, the future of Orthopaedic research can be aligned with patient safety and trust, propelling the field toward meaningful advancements in patient care and treatment outcomes. Keywords: Conflict of interest; data fabrication; ethics; plagiarism; research; research Integrity.

Objectives: To estimate the effect of the passage of state laws targeting patient brokering on opioid-related outcomes.
Background: In response to growing awareness of unethical substance use disorder (SUD) treatment practices, several states in the United States have passed laws targeting patient brokering and deceptive marketing. Patient brokering and deceptive marketing laws are intended to reduce the chances individuals with SUD interact with bad actors or suffer from adverse outcomes related to inappropriate SUD treatment, but the effectiveness of these laws is unknown.

Introduction: The Peak-End Rule (PER) impacts how individuals remember events: experiences are primarily remembered according to the emotions associated with the experience's most intense moment (the peak) and those associated with its end (the end). The potential utility of exploiting the PER for improving patients' willingness to repeat unpleasant but medically useful procedures in the future has been demonstrated.
Methods: This paper conducts an analysis of the ethical issues surrounding the prolongation of medical procedures to exploit the PER.

This research provides the first empirical investigation into how embodied experiences influence malevolent creativity. While prior studies have linked embodiment to general creativity, the impact of specific bodily states-such as mask-wearing-on malevolent creativity remains unexplored. Across two between-subjects experiments (Experiment 1: N = 100; Experiment 2: N = 100), we examined the psychological mechanisms underlying this effect.

Background: Variation in the way information about potential trial intervention benefits and harms is conveyed within patient information leaflets can cause avoidable information-induced ('nocebo') harm, research waste, and may be unethical.
Objectives: 1. To develop stakeholder-informed principles to guide how to describe information about potential trial intervention benefits and harms within patient information leaflets.
