ThemesWhistleblower protection/rights
What is this about?
The strength of an institution’s whistleblower protections influences whether people actively report misconduct or decide to passively witness a potential integrity breach. Whistleblower protections also show a given institution’s commitment to scientific integrity
Why is this important?
Whistleblower protections affect not only researchers (including undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD students), but regulatory bodies, university administrators, research technicians, resource suppliers, funding bodies, editors, research ethics committees, research integrity officers and any other individuals and groups that may be indirectly involved in conducting research.
For whom is this important?
The Embassy Editorial team, Iris Lechner, Rosie Hastings, Philipp Hoevel, Andrijana Perković Paloš, Peter Kakuk contributed to this theme. Latest contribution was Oct 22, 2021
