If not, then it may not be realistic to expect a culture that fosters research integrity, nor to expect a lasting solution to problems of reproducibility. Moreover, should institutions and journals keep perverse incentives in place, it may not be fair to individual scientists to hold them only responsible for undesirable scientific outcomes.sible for undesirable scientific outcomes.)

Vulnerable Populations + (It is important to include mental health p … It is important to include mental health patients into society and so this study is very much admirable. But, no matter how much any project is important or admirable all individuals included in the study should know all about it prior to involvement. Since this step was skipped I suggest that all participants be informed about the study now. This means that some will not be willing to participate and will step out from the study. The study may have sufficient number of participants in the and because there are not many studies dealing with the re-integration of mental health patients into society.The drop out number can be used in the study for the statistical purposes and it can additionally improve overall study statistics.tionally improve overall study statistics.)
