A scoping review of the literature featuring research ethics and research integrity cases

"The areas of Research Ethics (RE) and Research Integrity (RI) are rapidly evolving. Cases of research misconduct, other transgressions related to RE and RI, and forms of ethically questionable behaviors have been frequently published. The objective of this scoping review was to collect RE and RI cases, analyze their main characteristics, and discuss how these cases are represented in the scientific literature."

"Universities, non-profit organizations and other institutions hire research administrators for positions that include helping scientists to apply for grants, ensuring scientists comply with institutional policies and federal laws, and coordinating research with international collaborators.
