It is designed to spark interest, reflection and learning through '''four gamified cases''' and a library of central concepts.Integrity Games is built on the idea that academic integrity is more than avoidance of clear-cut cheating. It also involves knowledge of the basic requirements for academic integrity, and competence in navigating the many grey zones between outright cheating and good practice.Many of the academic integrity issues students face – such as freeriding in group work or handling deviating data - are not covered by the local disciplinary rules, and even if they are, the interpretation of the rules may be context dependent.Navigating grey zones therefore requires attention to context and reflection on the broader aims of higher education.Integrity Games encourages this through engaging and realistic cases drawn from a major study on the integrity issues commonly faced by undergraduate students in Europe.The tool in designed to be flexible and it is available in different languages.

Students and their teachers can start playing Integrity Games by taking a quiz that will personalize their information. Once they have done the quiz, all the cases and dilemmas will be available.[[File:Integrity games.png|center|frame]]The first version of Integrity Games was developed in 2021 as part of the research project [https://h2020integrity.eu/ INTEGRITY] funded by the EU through Horizon 2020.

''Nature'' has uncovered further instances of apparent plagiarism in papers co-authored by government ministers and senior officials in Iran. The spate of new examples raises questions about whether such incidents are symptomatic of conditions also common in other developing countries — such as difficulties with English or pressure to acquire academic credentials as a prerequisite for promotion — or whether they are also linked specifically to the Iranian regime, where growth of a merit-based university culture has been undermined by political appointments and purges of reform-minded scientists.ts and purges of reform-minded scientists.)

Based on an analysis of the ethics sections of 60 PhD dissertations, Marita Cronqvist (2024) has identified topic areas and corresponding criteria (Table 3). This framework could be applied in the analysis of the content and evaluating the quality of ethical considerations displayed in the research ethics section of dissertations (Table 3).Both frameworks—the levels of reflective thinking and the framework for assessing ethics sections—can thus be used to monitor and analyse how reflection and ethical awareness are demonstrated and developed in the context of REI.rated and developed in the context of REI.)

However, they’re also significant sources of plastic waste, thereby contributing heavily to global plastic pollution. In 2015, a study estimated the amount of plastic waste produced in bioscience labs worldwide at 5.5 million tons (Urbina et al. 2015. ''Labs should cut plastic waste too''. Nature). Given the essential role of plastic products in wet-lab research, avoiding their use altogether may not be a practical option. Alternatively, plastic used in the lab can be recycled.

It establishes openness as the default, balanced with ethics, privacy, intellectual property, and security, following the principle “as open as possible, as closed as necessary.” The law emphasizes that openness improves research quality, reproducibility, knowledge transfer, and equitable access, particularly for communities with limited resources. It requires open access to publications, encourages Creative Commons licensing, persistent identifiers, and deposition of manuscripts in trusted repositories, while also promoting FAIR data principles and data management plans. Authors and institutions are tasked with retaining rights, acknowledging funding, and justifying embargoes only in exceptional cases. Supported by national infrastructure like repositories and registries, the law aligns Spanish practices with international initiatives such as Plan S and the European Open Science Cloud. It also highlights responsible openness, ensuring safeguards for sensitive or commercial data. As a benchmark resource, it reduces ambiguity, provides a practical checklist, and serves as a credible reference for researchers, administrators, and policymakers in Spain.administrators, and policymakers in Spain.)

The general provisions outline the important principles to be upheld and the professional competencies of a scientist. The basic ethical provisions of research covers both the transparency and trustworthiness of research, as well as ethical provisions for the protection of research subjects. The section on the dissemination of research results deals mainly with authorship, plagiarism, accessibility of research results, and correction of the scientific record. The final section, on ethical provisions for the evaluation and examination of scientific works, covers the expertise of evaluators, independence and potential conflicts of interest, and transparency of the evaluation process.nd transparency of the evaluation process.)
