@Talia @sharoz We're doing a review of research misconduct procedures in the UK, aiming to tease out tensions and suggest solutions: https://ukrio.org/our-work/ukrio-research-misconduct-review-2023/

UK institutions should for now follow these guidelines: https://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/topics/research-and-innovation/concordat-support-research-integrity
We have this model procedure, updated this year: https://ukrio.org/ukrio-resources/publications/misconduct-investigation-procedure/

“The [investigation] process needs to protect the rights of the individual accused, but once the process is complete and it’s known that misconduct did take place, then that needs to be made clear, and often it isn’t. Often these people who engage in misconduct quietly leave by the back door, maybe join another institution—it’s very opaque.” - Marcus Munafò, Research Professional News webinar

Should researchers who are found to have committed research misconduct be given a second chance?

Dag Slotfeldt-Ellingsen says maybe, with preconditions:
"It will be crucial that the researcher is open and honest about his or her past and can prove to have the professional ethical knowledge and attitudes that the position requires."

Flattered to have been asked by WaPo to offer my opinion on the always fascinating question of the intersections of #AcademicFreedom, #AcademicIntegrity, (and possible #ResearchMisconduct).

COPE had an interesting discussion on author behavioral misconduct. It's a complicated topic, and guidance will vary by case. But it's a topic that is also relevant for institutions to consider as well when it comes to authorship. #ResearchIntegrity #ResearchMisconduct https://publicationethics.org/resources/forum-discussion-topics/author-behavioural-misconduct

Recently I was extremely pleased to host an EASE an open-invitation webinar featuring Dr @ElisabethBik speaking about her work investigating image-related misconduct and research integrity

The recording of the session is on the EASE youtube channel, should anyone wish to watch it.

Many thanks again to Dr Bik for a fantastic session that was very well received.
