Scientific integrity

Scientific integrity deals with "best practices" or rules of professional practice of researchers. It stems from an OECD report of 2007[1], and is set in the context of the replication crisis and the fight against scientific misconduct.

Initiatives

In 2007 the OECD published a report on best practices for promoting scientific integrity and preventing misconduct in science (Global Science Forum).

Main international texts in this field:

In Europe

The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, published in 2011 and revised in 2017, develops the concept of scientific integrity along four main lines :

  • Reliability: concerns the quality and reproducibility of research.
  • Honesty: concerns the transparency and objectivity of research.
  • Respect: for the human, cultural and ecological environment of research.
  • Accountability: concerns the implications of publishing the research.
