Abstract
Talk: Research Integrity in Collaborative Research: A framework to ensure its inclusion.
There has been a rapid rise in collaborations in science, technology, and innovation across institutions, disciplines, sectors and borders. Such collaboration can deliver outcomes that expand the boundaries of human knowledge and have the potential to deliver real benefits for today’s rapidly developing society. However, disputes can and do frequently arise in collaborations and misconduct can occur. This Framework provides guidance for researchers on how to reinforce a culture of responsible conduct of research (research integrity) in their collaborations so they can, as far as possible, avoid incidences of research misconduct and unacceptable research practices occurring during the collaborative work.
