Academic Integrity Norms Compliance in the Process of Research Data Management: Foreign Practice

The article deals with the principles of adherence to the standards of academic integrity and ways of avoiding misconduct manipulation with research data in the process of Research Data Management (RDM) on the example of world universities and organizations with experience in implementing high-quality RDM.In this article was used the author’s experience gained during participating in Erasmus Plus Staff Mobility for Training Program agreed between the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy and The University of Glasgow (Scotland, the UK). In particular, was regarded as the UK approach to providing Research Data Management (RDM) in the University Library on the example of University of Glasgow Institutional repository which is named “Enlighten” and is base on the EPrints platform. The connection between the image of the institution and its research activity can be checked by means of monitoring the research data, so that is why the University of Glasgow pays considerable attention to the exactness and accuratness of the RDM. In this material were mentioned several schemes of research data lifecycle and what can happen to it in case of research misconduct. The most widespread terms concerning research misconduct were regarded in this article, namely: falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism. With this purpose, several online reference websites and dictionaries were analyzed. Open Science Framework (OSF) was described briefly as one of the proposed instruments for the researchers who need to deposit their research data. This tool also was defined as an additional bibliographic instrument as it can generate citations for data packages thus providing transparent data reuse without breach norms and regulations of Academic Integrity. The importance of Academic Integrity in connection to the Research Data Management and Research Data Lifecycle is underlined as a crucial element in the whole research process. Six fundamental values of Academic Integrity were named and mentioned as basic points at which every researcher must orient in their work
