Research integrity – practices and policies

Abstract

According to some critics, science is in a crisis (Resnik and Shamoo, 2017; Baker, 2016). Scandals and everyday sloppy research threaten both ‘truth’ finding and ‘trust’ in universities and research institutions (Bouter et al. 2016). This has brought research integrity (RI) to the forefront. RI is about living up to professional standards for conducting research. Focus can be on good and detrimental research practices, on institutional, national or transnational policies, or on the current research culture (‘publish or perish’, hyper-competition, rankings, metrics etc.). The panel welcomes papers that deal with RI in all three ways (practices, policies, or culture).
