The collection of cases is a useful recourse for teaching publication ethics and for discussing ethical dilemmas in the field. +
To prevent misconduct in academic publishing it is important to define the best practices and ethical standards. Therefore, these core practices dictate how to ethically handle potential cases of misconduct, as well as ways to minimize the chances that misconduct may occur in academic publishing. +
These resources give a clear overview about the major challenges regarding publication ethics. Challenges that all people (in)directly involved in the research are obliged to confront with. Publication pressure and other factors +
When it comes to authoring a research paper, the authors must be prepared to take responsibility for their findings, claims and arguments. The assumption is that the authors should disclose themselves in order to take ownership of their work. +
The analysis provides a strategy to help identify when something is amiss with a research proposal and prompts a much closer examination of such issues. +
This is a real case which can be discussed and analyzed as an example of scientific misconduct. +
This collection of cases is useful for organizing group discussions. +
The database includes a broad collection of cases. The cases can be searched by keyword, subject, or discipline. +
This case study can help researchers identify practical issues and challenges they might come across in collaborations. +
This case is important because AI companion systems can help older adults maintain independence, reduce loneliness, and support daily health management. By providing reminders, monitoring safety, and offering conversational interaction, these systems can improve well-being for seniors living alone. However, they also raise ethical concerns related to privacy, emotional dependency, and autonomy. Ensuring responsible use is essential so that AI companions support elderly care without replacing meaningful human relationships. +
This case is important because griefbots may significantly change how people experience grief and maintain connections with deceased loved ones. While such systems may offer emotional comfort, they also raise ethical concerns about identity, consent, and psychological well-being. Questions arise about whether the digital simulation represents the person and how interacting with it might affect the grieving process. Responsible discussion and safeguards are needed before these technologies become widely available. +
Case-based ethics instruction: the influence of contextual and individual factors in case content on ethical decision-making +
Cases can help making research ethics training more efficient. +
This policy brief is important because the evolving geopolitical landscape and advanced technologies present new vulnerabilities for scientific research vulnerabilities that can compromise knowledge, national security, and public trust. Without clear frameworks and institutional capacity, HEIs and RPOs risk exposure to misuse, undue influence, or loss of control over sensitive research outputs. The concept of research security if left undefined can create confusion and weak implementation. By proposing a “by-design” approach and concrete policy measures, the brief helps bridge the gap between open science values and necessary safeguards. It also prompts institutions, funders, and policymakers to proactively address security without undermining collaboration and autonomy in research. +
The current peer review system may not work positive for everybody. It is important how to react when your proposal as a researcher is rejected for funding without deception. +
A series of 9 articles provide a set of guidelines on a variety of topics related to archaeological heritage to ensure its protection and management. Among others, the charter focuses on protection policies, legislation and economy, surveys, investigation, maintenance and conservation, reconstruction and presentation, information, professional qualifications, and international cooperation. Besides, the charter has been endorsed by the European Association of Archaeologists in their Code of Practice. +
Charter of ethics and guiding principles of scientific research in Lebanon (2016), Mouin Hamzé, Nayef Saade, Fawaz Fawaz +
Charter of ethics and guiding principles of scientific research in Lebanon distils national expectations for research integrity in Lebanon and clarifies what researchers and institutions in Lebanon need to do to comply. It reduces ambiguity, aligns local practice with international norms, and offers actionable steps that improve transparency, reproducibility, and equitable access. For policy leads, it is a benchmark;for authors and administrators, it is a practical checklist. Published by Mouin Hamzé, Nayef Saade, Fawaz Fawaz in 2016, it is a credible reference to cite in institutional policies, training, and grant documentation. +
These documents provide a basis for engagement with ecofeminist issues as they arise in project implementation and in thinking about the green transition more broadly. +
The case demonstrates supervisory responsibilities in relation to the health and safety of young researchers who are working in a laboratory. +
Code of Conduct for Responsible Research' is important because it ensures credibility and trust in research by providing both preventive and corrective guidance. It prevents misconduct by educating researchers on standards, and offers frameworks for addressing violations fairly. In today’s interconnected research environment, having shared ethical codes strengthens international collaboration and consistency. For governments, institutions, and the public, this document demonstrates commitment to transparency, fairness, and societal responsibility. It is not just a guideline but a foundation for safeguarding the reliability of research outcomes. +
In an interview, the director of the National Natural Science Foundation of China states that the standards set in the document are relevant for the creation of a culture of fairness and honesty. He claims that this is crucial to preserve the public trust in research findings and set guidelines to create concrete policy for managing an increasing quantity of funds. +
