Scientific integrity deals with "best practices" or rules of professional practice of researchers. It stems from an OECD report of 2007 and is set in the context of the replication crisis and the fight against scientific misconduct.

Initiatives[edit][edit]
In 2007 the OECD published a report on best practices for promoting scientific integrity and preventing misconduct in science (Global Science Forum).

Main international texts in this field:


 * European Charter for Researchers (2005)
 * the Singapore statement on research integrity (2010)
 * European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity of All European Academies (ALLEA) and the European Science Foundation (ESF) (2011 revised in 2017).

Established in 1950, the U.S. National Science Foundation sought to ethically promote scientific research when President Truman signed Public Law 81-507. They account for about 25% of federal funding to universities and colleges in regard to research efforts.

In Europe[edit][edit]
The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, published in 2011 and revised in 2017, develops the concept of scientific integrity along four main lines :


 * Reliability: concerns the quality and reproducibility of research.
 * Honesty: concerns the transparency and objectivity of research.
 * Respect: for the human, cultural, and ecological environment of research.
 * Accountability: concerns the implications of publishing the research.

In the USA[edit][edit]
The Scientific Integrity Task Force was instituted in 2021 by Presidential Memorandum. Its purpose is to establish an effective assessment system for the scientific integrity policies of Federal agencies. This mission seeks to ensure the establishment of a dependable and transparent scientific system constructed for Americans. The Scientific Integrity Task Force functions by:


 * Reviewing federal agency policies through the use of a forum that discusses issues of scientific integrity.
 * Promoting evidence-based decision-making at a federal level.
 * Address short and long-term actions.
