Background and Aim: The vibrant cases of scientific misconducts have gained a significant attention in the recent times; however less obviously questionable research practices (QRPs) might be more ubiquitous and can thus ultimately severely affect the academic originality. The present study aimed to explore the frequency of questionable research practices among the doctors and dentists of Pakistan. Materials & Methods: The current study was a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional one which included 108 doctors and dentists of different Medical and Dental Colleges of Lahore, Pakistan. All the participants were selected from academia; were briefly explained about the purpose of the study and finally informed consent was obtained prior to their incorporation in the study. The subjects included in the study were questioned about QRPs. The questionnaire included the following questions: 1) Refusal of research data sharing with legitimate authors? 2) Any author addition to research without their contribution? 3) Any honorary authorship claimed without contribution to research? 4) Have you eliminated someone who justified their contribution? 5) Have you submitted any publication data without the consent of other authors? 6) Any research paper submitted to more than one journal at a time
