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).

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.
