Goal
This module provides an introduction to the main principles of research integrity, describes the guidance outlined in the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (ECoC), and asks you to apply the ECoC to your own context.
Requirements
This module is part of the VIRT2UE online course and is designed to be used with the two following modules: "Introduction of virtue ethics to research integrity" and "Virtue ethics applied under current research conditions.
You should have experience of research in practice (e.g. be employed as a researcher) or be a trainer/educator/teacher who has had experience in research in the past.Duration (hours)

For whom is this important?
Method
What is this about?
By taking this interactive module you will learn about:
The European Code of Conduct for research Integrity (ECoC): You will be introduced to the content of the code while reflecting on the good practices and breaches described in the text.
- Responsible conduct of research, research misconduct, and questionable research practice: You will learn about the differences between responsible practices, misconduct and gray areas and reflect on how these are addressed in the ECoC.
- The variety of factors that influence research behavior: You will be guided in a reflection about your own responsibilities as researchers and the possible reasons for violations of good research conduct at the level of: 1) individual researchers, 2) the research culture, and 3) the research system.
Why is this important?
This online modules provide a basic understanding of the concepts used in the training to ensure that trainees start with a common terminology and knowledge.

What is this about?
This interactive e-learning module provides an introduction to research integrity. By taking this modules learners will:
- Identify the purpose and the content of the ECoC. Throughout the module, the ECoC is introduced and quoted as an important source of guidance for research integrity. A drag-and-drop exercise aims to familiarize the learner with the code’s content, and introduces some guidance outlined in the document. In another exercise, learners are invited to reflect on practices which are described as breaches of research integrity in the ECoC.
- Distinguish between responsible conduct of research, research misconduct, and questionable research practices and link these to their description in the ECoC. In the module, the difference between responsible conduct of research, research misconduct, and questionable research practices is described. The prevalence and impact of research misconduct and breaches of responsible research practices are also examined, and which principles and norms from the ECoC are violated in cases of certain research misbehaviours are identified.
- Become aware of the variety of factors that influence research behaviour and their own responsibilities related to these factors. In the module, possible reasons for research integrity violations are described at the level of: 1) individual researchers, 2) the research culture, and 3) the research system. Learners link guidance in the ECoC targeted at each of these three areas. Finally, learners reflect on how publication pressure affects their own research practices.
Why is this important?
It is crucial for participants to complete the online course in advance of the face-to-face training in order to acquire a shared understanding of the program’s core concepts.
