Resources are classified according to the following topics:
- research misconduct: case summaries, extensive guidelines on how to handle misconduct, and forensic tools for examining and detecting plagiarism
- responsible conduct of research: general and specific resources on human/animal research, publication and authorship, mentorship, data management, collaborative science, peer review and conflicts of interest
- programs: training and research programs on research integrity
- policies and regulations: US documents from the US government, the ORI and other institutions
- assurance program: monitors institutional compliance with research misconduct policies
Among the many resources, users can find guidelines, bibliographic support and practical tools, such as forensic plagiarism-detection tools and The Lab (http://ori.hhs.gov/THELAB): an interactive training video available in English, Spanish and Chinese in which users adopt roles and make decisions about integrity in research that can have long-term consequences.
This is the official website of a US agency and is, thus, very US related. European actors should adapt the resources to their own context.
