The aim of the thesis is to design, implement, and evaluate an educational 2D game in the Unity 6 (C#) engine, which uses game mechanics and scenarios to model the process of scientific research and publishing with an emphasis on academic ethics and integrity. The game is designed to guide players to recognize and make the right decisions in situations involving plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data falsification or fabrication, gift authorship, predatory publishing, non-disclosure of conflicts of interest, and intimidation. The goal of the game will be to win the "Nobel Prize," which represents a metaphor for the recognition of long-term ethical decision-making and high-quality research.
