The exercise is designed to stimulate reflection on research integrity in a classroom setting by using the question “what is goodness and how may it be categorized” as a springboard. The focus of the exercise is to discuss the types of goodness and to reflect on the concept of goodness in research. This exercise is inspired by a broader and flexible approach, The Self-Declaration Approach (SDA)'"`UNIQ--ref-0000003B-QINU`"', which makes use of participants’ responses to a self-declaration sheets to structure reflection on a specific research integrity (RI) topic. Including the participants’ intuitions in the discussion is the hallmark of this approach. This format is flexible in terms of its applicability and adaptability to different RI topics and different audiences.

The Self-Declaration Approach (SDA) is an exercise designed to stimulate reflection on research integrity in a classroom setting which uses the question of “what is goodness and how may it be categorized” as a springboard. It makes use of participants’ responses specifically by gathering the participants’ thoughts and intuitions on goodness. For this purpose, a tool is used, the self-declaration sheet. You may download samples of self-declaration sheets [https://www.dropbox.com/s/ymx1d8qtznt5r7j/SDA%20sheet%20ver%201%20%281%29.docx?dl=0 HERE] and [https://www.dropbox.com/s/rw3e32aj5ed1aas/SDA%20sheet%20ver%203.docx?dl=0 HERE]. This sheet gathers the trainees’ thoughts on the definition of goodness in research and on personal experiences on the topic. +
This article argues that a morally neutral approach is necessary for a wide multidisciplinary study of medical ethics. The author also discusses alternative possibilities for formal teaching. +
The case describes two very similar paper that has been published in different journals in the same period. The publications were using the same datasets, methods and arrived to the same conclusions. The authors of the two papers were also the same except the first authors.
The case discusses the following questions. When self-plagiarism and suspected salami publishing is found in a published article, what can the editor do? Should the editor inform the other journal editor? In such cases, should the article be retracted from both journals? +
Technology is bringing down instances of duplication, despite variability in oversight. Is plagiarism a sin if the duplicated material is one's own? Self-plagiarism may seem a smaller infraction than stealing another author's work, but the practice is under increasing scrutiny, as the eruption two weeks ago of a long-standing controversy at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada, makes clear. +
A research group offers a post-doctoral student an opportunity to collaborate with them and offers him an incentive to leave his current position. +
This is a factual case. +
A complaint was made my a member of the public against the editors of a symposium in social sciences on the basis that one of the published articles contained delicate, albeit anonymized, information relating to the personal history of the complainant. They claimed that the information was presented in such a way that it was easy to work out their true identity. This is a factual anonymized case. +
VIRT2UE eğitmen eğitimi programına kaydolan katılımcıların, sertifikalı eğitmen olma şansı vardır. Bu sertifika, sertifika sahibi kişinin bir araştırma doğruluğu eğitmeni olarak gerekli didaktik becerilere sahip olduğunu gösterir. Katılımcılar online ve yüz yüze dersleri tamamladıklarında ve 10 başka araştırmacıyı eğittiklerinde sertifikayı almaya hak kazanırlar.
Katılımcıların tercihen tüm eğitim oturumlarına katılmış, toplantılar arasındaki dönemde beş alıştırmayı uygulamış ve 10 başka araştırmacıyı bu beş alıştırmanın en az üçü üzerinden eğitmiş olmaları gerekmektedir. Ancak bu yükümlülükler gerektiği durumlarda değiştirilebilir (örneğin küçük araştırma topluluklarında eğitim almaya istekli 10 araştırmacı bulmak zor olabilir). Eğitim alan kişinin sertifika almaya hak kazanmak için yeteri kadar dersi tamamlayıp tamamlamadığına eğitmen karar verecektir. Becerilerine güveniyor olmaları durumunda eğitimi alan katılımcılar iki yüz yüze oturum arasında yalnızca alıştırmaları uygulamak yerine 10 araştırmacıyı eğitmeyi de tercih edebilirler. +
Bu eğitimi alan kişilerin, sertifikalı eğitmen olabilmek için online ve yüz yüze dersleri tamamlamaları ve 10 araştırmacıya bu eğitimi vermeleri gerekmektedir. 10 araştırmacının eğitimi, program esnasında ya da program bittikten sonra gerçekleştirilebilir. +
This is a factual anonymised case presented in a collection of 8 scenarios encountered by the author of the paper in his role as research integrity officer. +
This is the factual scenario of a grant applicant who copied the background section of another professor’s published work without the appropriate referencing and credits. +
This is the factual case of an author whose long excerpts of research output appear in two different articles in two separate journals. +

This presents seven anonymized case of allegations of plagiary and from these draws specific conclusions and advice to authors and administrators. Specifically, case #6 presents the surprise of a doctoral student to see paragraphs of his Master’s thesis appearing verbatim in a magazine without any citations or references to him. +

This is a factual anonymised case presented in a collection of 8 scenarios encountered by the author of the paper in his role as research integrity officer. It is a case of plagiarism through translation to another language. A professor has translated in his own language the work of another professor, without taking all the necessary steps to ensure that intellectual property was acknowledged and all appropriate credits were given. +
The case studies in the Research Integrity Club present short integrity dilemmas.
In each case, an animation illustrates the dilemma, followed by a poll and a guided discussion. +
The case focuses on a conflict of interests and responsible conduct of research. A senior laboratory researcher with some hidden financial interests in a drug company conducts research sponsored by the same company appointing a post-doctoral fellow as a principal investigator in the project. A series of questions are listed to support group discussion or individual reflection on the ethical isssues. +
