SOPs4RI Guidelines for research institutions on continuous research integrity education
What is this about?
This document provides guidance to research institutions on providing continuous research integrity education outside of formal training.
Why is this important?
Education is needed to raise awareness about research integrity and provide researchers with the required tools to promote responsible research practices. Training is an important aspect of research integrity education, but continuous research integrity education also requires informal approaches. These include teaching and learning about research integrity through responsible supervision, socialization in a responsible research environment, as well as learning by doing.
For whom is this important?

What are the best practices?
Given the broad diversity that exists among research institutions, it is possible that some recommendations are not applicable in all research settings. For this reason, the guidelines should not be seen as a ‘one-size-fits-all’, but rather as a tool that can be used flexibly and adapted to meet institutions’ specific needs.
