Introduction to Research Integrity and Good Scientific Practices

What is this about?

This a free online course (MOOC Massive Open Online Course) where participants will learn some basic concepts about scientific integrity and good scientific practice, particularly in the biomedical field.

The course consists on 6 different modules:

1. Introduction to research integrity

2. Data Management

3. Conflict of interest

4. Animal research

5. Human research

6. Practice and politics of publication

From the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF).

Why is this important?

It is essential that all researchers understand the basic concepts of good scientific practice from a practical point of view - how they way they do their research can affect their results.
