Embrace Research Integrity, Avoid Scientific Misconduct and Enhance
Scholarly Research
Presenter: Jay Bhatt
Summary: In recent years, scientific community has
witnessed number of instances of retracted research papers due to the evidence
found of scientific misconduct after those papers were published. This
presentation will highlight the importance of academic and scientific integrity
in the progress of global research. Whether you are writing a research paper or
completing an assignment for your class, it is extremely important to provide
proper credit to various sources of information (journal article, conference
paper, presentation, book chapter, a web site, images or any other types of
resources) that were used in projects or assignments. Using various examples of
breaches in academic misconduct, or retracted papers from published literature,
violations in scientific integrity and academic misconduct are explained,
and possible hindrances and obstacles to scientific progress are illustrated.
Their consequences can be extremely damaging in career promotion and future
research collaborations. It becomes critically important for
creating teaching and learning environments for students and new researchers to
address this global problem and enhance the quality of academic and scholarly
activities.
