Federation of European Toxicologists and European Societies of Toxicology (Eurotox) Code of Ethics +
The Federation of European Toxicologists and European Societies of Toxicology (Eurotox) unites more than 6,000 members from across Europe, and aims to foster the science and education of toxicology, influence regulatory and policy frameworks to promote the safety of humans, animals and the environment, and protect global health. +
In this project, the usefulness and applicability of a selection of fiction movies for RCR education were investigated.
A format for structured description of (fragments of) movies was developed and after pilot testing consensus on the format was achieved. This format was applied to 31 movies. Not all movies in our initial selection were deemed useful for RCR education;20 movies remained in the final selection.
Legal and practical aspects of using (fragments of) movies for educational purposes and of sharing the teaching materials online (creative commons) were explored. +
This case is about fabricating results in clinical examination and misrepresenting academic credentials. +
This activity reinforces your understanding of sustainable decision-making in engineering. +
Finnish Guidance on the Responsible Conduct of Research and Procedures for Handling Allegations of Misconduct +
In 1994, the Advisory Board formulated the first national guidelines to handle cases of alleged research misconduct. The objective of the guidelines was to recognise research misconduct and to establish common norms for handling alleged misconduct. These guidelines were revised in 1998, 2002 and updated in 2012.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000000-QINU`"'
'"`UNIQ--references-00000001-QINU`"' +
This document present various recommendations on the supervision of doctoral dissertations and their review process with a special emphasis on research integrity. The recommendations were prepared by the Finnish Advisory Board on Research Integrity and Universities Finland and presented to the universities in Finland. The document covers topics ranging from applying for doctoral students, the supervision process, issues of copyright, authorship and research data, the stages of (pre-) examination of the dissertation and the publication of the dissertation. In addition, a separate section is dedicated to the responsible conduct of research and possible violations. +
This guideline details the prerequisites for good authorship, and the different misconduct practices associated with authorship. It makes references to national and international norms of authorship. +
Finnish TJNK Guideline on Bold Communication, Responsible Influence. Science Communication Recommendations +
This document, authored by the Committee for Public Information in Finland (TJNK), is in essence a plan for communicating science to the society. It details what science communication is, why it is essential, what its goals are and the ethos behind it. +

First steps towards Open Science in Albania (), Hasani, S., Stefanova, E., Georgiev, A., & Stefanov, K. +
''First Steps towards Open Science in Albania'', produced by Hasani, S., Stefanova, E., Georgiev, A., and Stefanov, K., sets national expectations for open science and open access in Albania, aligning them with international standards. Written in English, it frames openness as the default while balancing ethics, privacy, intellectual property, and security, following the principle “as open as possible, as closed as necessary.” The resource emphasizes open access publishing through trusted repositories, Creative Commons licensing, persistent identifiers, and FAIR data principles supported by data management plans. Responsibilities for researchers, institutions, and funders are clearly defined, including rights retention, funding acknowledgment, and transparent rules for embargoes or exceptions. Infrastructure such as repositories, registries, and discovery systems supports compliance and visibility, while alignment with initiatives like Plan S and the European Open Science Cloud ensures interoperability. Equity, inclusion, and responsible openness are central, with safeguards for sensitive or Indigenous data and multilingual communication. Serving as both a benchmark and practical checklist, it offers actionable guidance to improve transparency, reproducibility, and equitable access, helping Albanian researchers and institutions comply with open research norms. +
This editorial provides a summary of five cases considered by the UK General Medical Council Fitness to Practise Panel. These cases are from different medical subdisciplines, such as palliative care, ophthalmology, and endocrinology. +
This guideline describes how writers can avoid plagiarism with five simple rules. +
This guide, developed by the Digital Curation Centre, aims to help UK Higher Education Institutions aid their researchers in making informed choices about what research data to keep. +
This article provides an overview of major concepts and definitions of research ethics and integrity. Using five vignettes, the author contextualises ethical issues for the field of speech and language research. +
Five-step authorship framework to improve transparency in disclosing contributors to industry-sponsored clinical trial publications +
The article proposes Five-step Authorship Framework to create a more standardized approach when determining authorship for clinical trial publications. The aim of the presented recommendations is to facilitate more transparent authorship decisions and help readers in accessing the credibility of results. +
This case is about sharing knowledge concerning a specific group of native Americans in the Southwest of the United States. The central questions is this case are the following: "''Do the wishes of my consultants override the need of science for an ethnographic description of a little-known culture that is becoming westernized? Would it be ethical to produce a work that would appear only after all of my consultants are dead, which could be 20 or 30 years? Or does the right to privacy, which my consultants insisted on, have to be observed as long as the people maintain their independent existence?"'' +
A former graduate student at Columbia University was found by the Office of Research Integrity (ORI) during its oversight review to have engaged in misconduct in research funded by National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The ORI made 21 findings of scientific misconduct based on evidence that the student had knowingly and intentionally falsified and fabricated, and, in one instance, plagiarised, data reported in three papers and their doctoral thesis. +
This is a factual case. +
The 1992 report ''Responsible Science: Ensuring the Integrity of the Research Process'' evaluates issues related to scientific responsibility and the conduct of research. It provides a valuable service in describing and analyzing a very complicated set of issues, and has served as a crucial basis for thinking about research integrity for more than two decades. +
