Abstract
Structures for and practices of research integrity (RI) and research ethics (RE) differ among countries. This study analyzed the processes and structures for RI and RE in Europe, following the framework developed at the World Conferences on Research Integrity. We present RI and RE Country Report Cards for 16 European countries, which included the information on RI and RE structures, processes and outcomes. While some of the countries are front-runners when it comes to RI and RE, with well-established and continually developing policies and structures, others are just starting their journey in RI and RE. Although RI and RE contextual divergences must be taken into account, a level of harmonization among the countries is necessary so that researchers working in the European area can similarly handle RI and RE issues and have similar expectations regardless of the organization in which they work. RI and RE Country Report Cards can be a tool to monitor, compare, and strengthen RE and integrity across countries through empowerment and inspiration by examples of good practices and developed systems.
各国的研究诚信(RI)和研究伦理(RE)结构和实践各不相同。本研究按照世界科研诚信大会制定的框架,分析了欧洲的 RI 和 RE 流程与结构。我们提交了 16 个欧洲国家的 RI 和 RE 国家报告卡,其中包括有关 RI 和 RE 结构、流程和结果的信息。其中一些国家在 RI 和 RE 方面走在前列,拥有完善并不断发展的政策和结构,而另一些国家在 RI 和 RE 方面刚刚起步。虽然必须考虑到 RI 和 RE 的背景差异,但各国之间也有必要进行一定程度的协调,以便在欧洲地区工作的研究人员能够以类似的方式处理 RI 和 RE 问题,并且无论他们在哪个组织工作,都有类似的期望。RI 和 RE 国家报告卡可以成为监测、比较和加强各国 RE 和诚信的工具,通过良好做法和已开发系统的范例进行赋权和激励。
期刊介绍:
Accountability in Research: Policies and Quality Assurance is devoted to the examination and critical analysis of systems for maximizing integrity in the conduct of research. It provides an interdisciplinary, international forum for the development of ethics, procedures, standards policies, and concepts to encourage the ethical conduct of research and to enhance the validity of research results.
The journal welcomes views on advancing the integrity of research in the fields of general and multidisciplinary sciences, medicine, law, economics, statistics, management studies, public policy, politics, sociology, history, psychology, philosophy, ethics, and information science.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees.
