BEYOND_WP1_T1.1_Literature review_overview of literature list and Analysis.

Data sets for D1.1. The first part of this deliverable is a scoping review of the literature examining 147 articles published 
in peer review academic journals over the past ten years (2013-2023) on the promotion of research 
ethics and integrity (REI), and breaches of these standards including research misconduct (RM) and 
questionable research practices (QRPs). It also identifies current challenges, gaps in knowledge and 
practice, and opportunities for both further research, and policy and educational interventions to 
promote REI and mitigate RM and QRPs. Findings on state-of-the-art knowledge in REI research 
suggest some areas of consensus, including on the greater risks for early career researchers to commit 
RM and the value of responsible conduct of research (RCR) training, particularly approaches that 
emphasize ethical problem-solving skills. However, the study also identified a lack of consensus in 
other areas, including the rehabilitation and reintegration of researchers who committed RM. Key 
findings extracted from the review contribute to the understanding that the environment in which 
researchers operate and other contextual factors significantly influence RCR, rather than primarily the 
individual behavior of researchers. As such, these environmental and contextual factors require further 
research and policy attention.
