Proje Özeti

Research integrity (RI) issues – including cases of misconduct and high prevalence of questionable research practices (QRPs) – have gained increased attention worldwide (Crocker and Cooper 2011; Gopalakrishna 2021). In Europe, normative guidance requires institutions to provide RI courses, but provides little direction on their content (ALLEA 2017). Those involved in research in Europe consider appropriate goals of RI training to include both the promotion of RI-related knowledge and the development of researchers' moral behaviour and the underlying character and professional virtues (Pizzolato and Dierickx 2021). Few European courses, however, pay attention to researchers’ moral character and professional habits - or why they are important or how to strengthen them - and merely focus on understanding the principles guiding the scientific method and RI rules (Adbi et al. 2021). There is little attention to what we consider to be a ‘good researcher’ or what acting with integrity means in specific situations. If we consider ‘integrity’ to reflect desirable habits and embodied values or virtues such as trustworthiness, honesty, and intellectual humility, a challenge in RI education is how to foster their development.
