In a recent KARE 11 interview, Consortium Chair Susan M. Wolf discussed current challenges to research integrity and described how they can be addressed. The news report hints at a larger set of issues that threaten to slow advances in knowledge and undermine the public’s trust in science. Last week, at the Research Integrity and Trustworthy Science conference, national experts in biomedicine, the social sciences, law, ethics, and more converged at the University of Minnesota to grapple with pressing research problems, including researcher misconduct, inadequate education of new researchers, predatory journals that fail to perform thorough peer review and oversight lapses. An article in Inquiry, the blog of the University of Minnesota Office of the Vice President for Research (VP Allen Levine is pictured), describes the conference proceedings and delves into the plenary sessions, which highlighted how research ethics rely on three parties: researchers, academic journals, and research institutions. Video of this year's sessions are available here. Information on previous annual Research Ethics conferences can be found here, here and here.
