Research Ethics and Integrity

This collection brings together articles with a focus on the ethics of research and the trustworthiness of research results. We welcome work focusing on guidance and interventions to foster research ethics and integrity at the level of researchers, institutions, or the system of science, as well as the evaluation of impact. We are particularly interested in submissions which reflect diverse disciplinary perspectives on what constitutes ‘ethical’ and ‘good’ research, and how good practices can be supported.

The collection includes articles from the disciplines of ethics, psychology, science and technology studies, and sociology, to name just a few. It brings together theoretical and empirical work, and aims to reflect the state of the art in relation to research integrity and ethics.

Potential topics and research areas include but are not limited to:

• Research integrity and ethics normative guidance;
• Initiatives to foster research ethics and integrity within institutions;
• Initiatives to foster quality in research processes;
• Empirical work of researchers’ practices and perspectives in relation to ethics and integrity of research;
• Measurement of the impact of research ethics and integrity interventions;
• Measurement of research and researcher quality.
