(UK) The Concordat to support research integrity (Oct 2019)

Snowdrop · Feb 21, 2021

I found this and thought it might be a useful reference.

https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/po...e-concordat-to-support-research-integrity.pdf

Long document but here are a few exerpts:

In 2012, the signatories to the concordat recognised a need for greater openness and transparency, and to ensure adherence to consistently high standards across the research community. In 2019, these needs are greater still. Public trust in research is essential: to secure public participation in research; to maintain public support for the funding of research; and to ensure that research findings are mobilised as effectively as possible.Internationally, there are established principles of research integrity. The Singapore Statement on Research Integrity (2010)1 sets out the four principles of responsible research, and outlines responsibilities that should be common to all good research. The publication of the Montreal Statement on Research Integrity in Cross-Boundary Research Collaborations (2013) builds on the initial statement, setting out responsibilities relevant to collaborating partners. In 2017, a revised edition of The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity was published by All European Academies (AEA, 2017).

And refers to other integrity of research documents:

Singapore statement: https://www.wcrif.org/statement
Montreal statement: https://wcrif.org/documents/354-montreal-statement-english/file
Amsterdam agenda: https://www.wcrif.org/guidance/amsterdam-agenda
Hong Kong principles: https://www.wcrif.org/guidance/hong-kong-principles

At a glance they are quite similar documents.

Also found this for the US-- Office of Research integrity:

A little more labrinthine and seems to be more legal requirement than advice as above documents.

2012? That worked well then.

Something I have noticed in many aspects of life, we do not need new rules we just need proper application of the existing ones.

Good find.
