Irish National Forum on Research Integrity's Position Paper on Research Integrity & Research Ethics
What is this about?
This document, mainly intended for Research Ethics Committees (RECs), discusses the overlaps and the distinctions between the concepts of research ethics and research integrity, and delineates the extent of involvement of RECs in misconduct investigations procedures.
Why is this important?
The definitions of research integrity and research ethics vary across sources. This is of practical importance, as it affects the extent to which RECs should be involved in investigating breaches of research integrity. This document shed light on this issue by discussing the different international and European definitions of RI and RE. Finally, based on the OECD code of practice for research, it concludes that RECs shoul dnot take full responsibility for research misconduct handling.
