Guidelines for research institutions on managing competition and publication pressure
What is this about?
This guideline offers recommendations that can help research institutions manage the competition between researchers and the publication pressure they face.
Why is this important?
Publication pressure and competition can create an unhealthy research environment in which researchers might feel tempted to deviate from research integrity.
Research institutions can help foster research integrity and responsible research practices by providing researchers with healthy, collaborative, positive, inclusive, and enriching work environments.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 tools that can be used flexibly and adapted to meet institutions’ specific needs.
