European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Standards of Conduct +
These Standards of conduct details the ethical expectations that apply to all members of the association. +
European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR) International Code on Market, Opinion and Social Research and Data Analytics +
Their code of conduct, which is co-owned by the International Chamber of Commerce, champions good research and the adherence to profesional standards. +
Everything We Know About Facebook's Secret Mood Manipulation Experiment. It was probably legal. But was it ethical? +
This is a thought provoking case that provides some philosophical questions on what is legal and ethical. Issues around informed consent, the role of the IRB and the funding of the study are also discussed. +
The brief is important because it offers a realistic and structured pathway for bringing citizen-generated data into formal policy and planning processes potentially filling data gaps and making environmental or urban governance more responsive, inclusive, and cost-efficient. In many local contexts, traditional data may be outdated, sparse, or too expensive to gather regularly. Citizen science can democratize data collection, engage communities, and provide high-resolution, real-time insights that decision-makers otherwise might lack. By formalizing procedures for quality, validation, and institutional uptake, the brief helps ensure that CS data can be taken seriously bridging grassroots efforts and formal governance. +
With this module we want to help trainers to convey the importance of fairness, transparency and ethical considerations in AI systems, fostering a deeper understanding and commitment to responsible AI among their participants. +

FAIR Research Data Management is essential for improving the quality, visibility, and impact of research. By applying FAIR principles, researchers ensure that their data can be easily discovered, accessed, understood, and reused by others, including future researchers and automated systems. This reduces duplication of effort, increases research transparency, and supports reproducibility. FAIR RDM also aligns with funder, institutional, and policy requirements, helping researchers meet compliance standards. Ultimately, it maximizes the value of research investments and enables data-driven innovation across disciplines and borders. +
FAIR data is more transparent and reproducible, which is why it is an important aspect of research integrity. +
The credibility of scientific research hinges on transparency and ethical authorship practices. Selling authorship compromises these principles, leading to fraudulent publications, misrepresentation of expertise, and potential misuse of findings. This practice often stems from pressure to "publish or perish" in academia, incentivizing unethical behavior. Left unchecked, it erodes public trust in science and creates an uneven playing field for honest researchers. Addressing this issue is essential to safeguard the future of scientific integrity and uphold academic standards. By understanding the factors driving this problem, readers can explore potential solutions and contribute to fostering a culture of ethical research practices. +
In this specific context, false results mislead not only health care staff and medical researchers, but also the parents of premature babies. +
Pharmaceutical companies and drug manufactures "fund such studies hoping to show that their drugs cause fewer side effects or are more effective than competing products."'"`UNIQ--ref-00000000-QINU`"' Rules and regulations related to studying existing drugs need to be adapted to showcase transparency and to ensure results - positive or negative- are published. +
This code of conduct lays out general principles that those pariticipating in EPHAR activities must abide by. +
Federation of European Toxicologists and European Societies of Toxicology (Eurotox) Code of Ethics +
Via their code of conduct, Eurotox provides guidelines for the professional conduct of its members. +
Teaching students and researchers about rules and norms in research is one thing, but empowering them to deal with moral dilemmas in research practice is a challenge. Fictional narratives can be very useful in exploring the tough choices scientists have to make. +
Results from clinical trials are being used in daily clinical practice. Hence it is important that the results are correct and reliable. +
Finnish Guidance on the Responsible Conduct of Research and Procedures for Handling Allegations of Misconduct +
The Finnish Advisory Board on Research Integrity (TENK), which is appointed by the Ministry of Education and Culture in Finland (Decree 1347/1991), was established to promote the responsible conduct of research, to prevent research misconduct, to promote discussion and to spread information on research integrity in Finland and to monitor international developments in the field of research integrity. The Advisory Board makes proposals and issues statements concerning research integrity.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000002-QINU`"'
'"`UNIQ--references-00000003-QINU`"' +
As the authors of the guideline describe: "The ultimate responsibility for the quality of the dissertation rests with its author, but it is the supervisor´s duty to ensure that the doctoral student is familiar with the obligations and ethical practices related to a research process." (pg. 4)'"`UNIQ--ref-00000000-QINU`"'
'"`UNIQ--references-00000001-QINU`"' +
Good authorship practices are part and parcel of the responsible conduct of research. This means that all researchers should be aware of the important principles of authorship, such as who is eligible to be an author, taking responsibility for the content and preventing disputes. This document is therefore of practical value to all PhD students, researchers and supporters of research. +
Finnish TJNK Guideline on Bold Communication, Responsible Influence. Science Communication Recommendations +
Science and research are necessary for social advancement;thus, it is in society's interest to share research results with everyone in the community. While being bold and visible, it must also be explained in an understandable, unbiased and unexaggerated way. This guide provides information on how to strike the necessary balance and communicate successfully. +
This editorial provides information about possible consequences of research misconduct in various medical disciplines in the UK. +
Plagiarism is a scientific misconduct which consists in using others or one's owns previously published ideas without properly citing the original publication and author '"`UNIQ--ref-00000000-QINU`"'. Plagiarism can be easily avoided by using one's own words and by citing the original source when paraphrasing someone else's words or ideas. In spite of this, plagiarism remains an issue.
