Research Integrity

Per integrità nella ricerca si intende l’insieme dei principi e dei valori etici, dei doveri deontologici e degli standard professionali sui quali si fonda una condotta responsabile e corretta da parte di chi svolge, finanzia o valuta la ricerca scientifica nonché da parte delle istituzioni che la promuovono e la realizzano. L’applicazione dei principi e dei valori e il rispetto della deontologia e degli standard professionali sono garanzia della qualità stessa della ricerca e contribuiscono ad accrescere la reputazione e l’immagine pubblica della scienza, con importanti ricadute sulla comunità scientifica e sulla società.
