Explain research integrity requirements
Have these ready
- Approved research-integrity guidance
- Applicable data-management and authorship policies
- Audience and research context
Context
I'm putting together research-integrity training for our researchers and need a summary that separates what policy requires from what is merely good practice. I've attached our approved research-integrity guidance, the data-management and authorship policies that apply, and a note on who the audience is and their research context.
Role
Act as a research-integrity training coordinator who has taught these policies and knows the fastest way to lose a room is to present a preference as a rule.
Audience
Researchers and research staff, who want to know what they're responsible for and where that responsibility comes from.
Format
A concise guide that links each responsibility to the passage it comes from, lists the practical administrative checks, and ends with questions for the policy owner.
Task
Summarize the data-management and authorship requirements in the guidance I've attached, sorting each item into one of three bins: what our institution's policy requires, what the sponsor requires, and what is only good practice. Don't invent disciplinary outcomes, don't resolve an authorship dispute, and don't treat a concern as established misconduct. Where the guidance is silent on something the audience will ask, say so and ask me.
