Response-Corruption, Trust, and Professional Regulation.

"By the end of the twentieth century, a more positive approach was being inaugurated across universities and federal agencies, with a shift in terminology from “scientific misconduct” to “responsible conduct of research” (RCR) or “research integrity,” defined as.Intellectual honesty in proposing, performing, and reporting research; accuracy in representing contributions to research proposals and reports; fairness in peer review; collegiality in scientific interactions, including communications and sharing of resources; transparency in conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest; humane care of animals in the conduct of research; adherence to the mutual responsibilities between investigators and their research teams.
