Reviewing, Evaluating, Editing and Research Integrity: An Educational Scenario by the EnTIRE project

Members of The Embassy of Good Science have developed a set of eight scenarios for educational purposes and to stimulate strategic thinking about issues in research ethics and research integrity. This scenario presents a hypothetical narrative concerning the ethical and integrity standards governing peer review processes. It focuses on issues regarding: The integrity of peer review processes; Institutional obligations to upholding the standards of good peer review practices; Plagiarism. It is interspersed with questions and resource suggestions that help guide researchers, research ethics committees ('RECs'), research integrity offices ('RIOs') and research administrators in their deliberations concerning the research integrity issues raised by the narrative
