Scientific research is fundamental to progress, sparking new discoveries, improved health care, and technological innovation. However, research misconduct such as data fabrication, detrimental research practices including selective data reporting, predatory journals that fail to perform meaningful peer review, and concerns about the reproducibility of scientific findings all threaten to undermine public trust. This conference brought together leading thinkers from multiple disciplines – biomedicine, the social sciences, law, ethics, and others – to analyze the challenges for researchers, universities, journals, and the community and map a way forward.
This conference was part of Research Ethics Week (March 5-9, 2018), during which the University of Minnesota focused on professional development and best practices to ensure safety and integrity in research.
