Ensuring Research Integrity

In the field of research, integrity and trust are two of the essential attributes of quality research. Any report of research misconduct creates a clear and present danger to the research field, academic institutions, and their faculty, residents, students, and staff. We can see the rise in research misconduct, most simply through the rising number of article retractions. Throughout this chapter, the authors go into the various methods with which researchers overtly fabricate, falsify, and plagiarize their research and the more covert methods of research misconduct, including reshaping data, withholding unfavorable analyses, and other situations that toe the line.
