The pressure to deliver research outputs can create feelings of despair and lead to non-compliance, vilation of good research practice and research misconduct and therefor it is of the utmost importance that we debate issues such as:
-
What is Research Non-compliance, Violation of Good Research Practice and Research Misconduct?
-
Fabrication, Falsification and Plagiarism
-
Questionable Research Practices
-
Responsible management of research data
-
Co-authorship
-
Conflict of interest, etc.
Honesty should be central in all aspects of conducting research.
Research Integrity ≠ Research Ethics
Research ethics is but a subset of research integrity
Research integrity is:
-
the cornerstone of scientific research
-
active adherence to the ethical principles
-
active adherence to professional standards
-
responsible practice of research
-
commitment to intellectual honesty and personal responsibility for ones' actions
-
an aspect of moral character and experience
