Recommendation: Research Integrity and the Organisation of Science
Related Initiative
What is this about?
This recommendation focuses on strengthening research integrity through better institutional organization, governance, and culture. It calls for aligning the principles of integrity such as honesty, accountability, and transparency with actual research practices. This includes reforming incentive structures that may encourage questionable practices, supporting integrity training, and ensuring fair evaluation systems. The aim is to make integrity not just a formal requirement but an integral part of the daily research environment.
Why is this important?
Scientific credibility depends on integrity. When institutional systems push for rapid results, high output, or competitive funding, they can unintentionally compromise ethical standards. Embedding integrity at all levels ensures trustworthy results and sustained public confidence in science.
