Responsible Research Conduct (häftad, eng)

Over 30,000 research articles have been retracted from peer-reviewed journals in recent years, exposing a troubling crisis in research integrity. Beneath this visible tip of the iceberg lies a vast, hidden burden of flawed research, with many cases of misconduct remaining undisclosed or inadequately addressed, while leading institutions have faced allegations of research misconduct, shaking public trust in science.

Confronting the growing disillusionment with unethical practices in research and in the publication of research findings, this book critically examines publicly available reports from institutions, journals, regulators, courts, and platforms like PubPeer and academic blogs, shedding light on systemic failures and the lack of transparency in addressing misconduct.

By consolidating lessons from these cases, it offers practical strategies to prevent fraud, improve research practices, and restore trust in the scientific process. Key Features:Offers a comprehensive analysis of research misconduct investigation reports, highlighting systemic issues and root causes.

Recommends targeted strategies for preventing misconduct and correcting the scientific record post-incident. Essential for researchers, clinicians, journal editors, academic publishers, funders, and anyone involved in health research, this book provides a roadmap for fostering accountability and integrity in science.

Through objective analysis and actionable recommendations, it inspires a more optimistic outlook for the future of research. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Khalid S. Khan is Professor of Public Health and Preventive Medicine and Beatriz Galindo Distinguished Investigator at the University of Granada, Spain.
