Publication, Dissemination and Research Integrity: An Educational Scenario by the EnTIRE project

Members of The Embassy of Good Science have developed a set of eight scenarios for educational purposes and to stimulate strategic thinking about issues in research ethics and research integrity.

This scenario presents a hypothetical narrative on the theme of Publication and Dissemination.

It focuses on issues regarding:

• Dual submissions
• Authorship lists
• Plagiarism
• Complaints procedures
• Editorial decisions
• Retraction

It is interspersed with questions and resource suggestions that help guide researchers, research ethics committees ('RECs'), research integrity offices ('RIOs') and research administrators in their deliberations concerning the research integrity issues raised by the narrative.
