Description

The present dataset is an Annex to the Discussion Document entitled “Indicators of Research Integrity: An initial exploration of the landscape, opportunities and challenges”. 

It consists in a longlist of actions and measures that organisations may put in place to support research integrity, building on a set of documents that we considered to represent the perspectives of the stakeholder groups mentioned in the UK Concordat to Support Research Integrity, including: 

  • researchers;  

  • employers of researchers (i.e. bodies that conduct or host research; employ, support or host researchers; teach research students; or allow research to be carried out under their auspices);  

  • research funders; and  

  • other organisations (e.g. professional, statutory and regulatory bodies; academies and learned societies; professional and subject-specific representative bodies; journals and publishers; and organisations offering advice, guidance and support). 

The table below provides an overview of the documents covered in the dataset. It should be noted that our selection of documents is not meant to imply that other efforts are of lesser importance: it is only a starting point for discussion and seeks to represent a breadth of stakeholder views.
