ENRIO Handbook: Recommendations for the Investigation of Research Misconduct
by Torkild Vinther (Chair of the ENRIO working group on Investigation)
|
|
The publication is called a Handbook. It is a kind of consensus document although representing different views on different topics reflecting a diversified European picture when it comes to experiences and lessons learned. The Handbook has a set of “practical step by step” recommendations or things to consider when dealing with possible research misconduct or unaccepted practices. It is the presumption that such recommendations will be especially important for countries who, for different reasons, are struggling with setting up a uniform and robust system for dealing with research misconduct or integrity but hopefully it will also serve as a basis for discussions and considerations in countries with established RI structures be it on a local and/or national level.

Path2Integrity - Rotatory role-playing and role-models to enhance the research integrity culture
by Julia Prieß-Buchheit (Path2Integrity Coordinator)
|
|
When students study research integrity in a traditional way, they may learn how the subject helps them on an individual level in their own scientific projects, while still underestimating the relevance of research integrity for a knowledge-based society, both within and outside of scientific research. In order to help open this door for students into an honest, reliable, respectful, and accountable scientific community, the Horizon2020 project Path2Integrity was established in January 2019 to support young researchers, bachelor's and master's students, and school students older than 16 in understanding via innovative methods what research is and why it is important to actively engage in dialogue on research norms.
