The document discusses scientific conduct, ethics, intellectual honesty, and research integrity. It covers several topics: the importance of ethics in science and research, defining research ethics and their principles, and issues like honesty, responsibility, openness, and professional freedom in research. Intellectual honesty in research means ensuring objectivity and the pursuit of truth without bias. Research integrity involves adhering to ethical standards of reliability, honesty, respect, and accountability throughout the entire research process.
Intellectual Honesty and Research Integrity.pptxsheelu57
Intellectual honesty is an applied method of problem solving, characterized by an unbiased, honest attitude, which can be demonstrated in a number of different ways including:
Ensuring support for chosen ideologies does not interfere with the pursuit of truth;
Relevant facts and information are not purposefully omitted even when such things may contradict one's hypothesis;
Facts are presented in an unbiased manner, and not twisted to give misleading impressions or to support one view over another;
References, or earlier work, are acknowledged where possible, and plagiarism is avoided. practices.
For individuals, research integrity is an aspect of moral character and experience. It involves above all a commitment to intellectual honesty and personal responsibility for one's actions and to a range of practices that characterize responsible research conduct.

In academia, the pressure to publish is high and the competition intense. This can lead authors to follow unethical publication practices, such as salami slicing, duplicate publication, and simultaneous submission. This slide deck explains these malpractices and shares tips on how authors can avoid them.
One of the most important research ethical issues that should be taken into consideration is “scientific misconduct” such as fabrication, falsification and plagiarism. Plagiarism can occur at any stage of the research activities such as reporting, communicating, authoring, and peer review. The purpose of this workshop is to engage researchers in their responsibility to conduct an ethical research.
Redundant, Duplicate and Repetitive publications are the most important concerns in the scientific research/literature writing. The occurrence of redundancy affects the concepts of science/literature and carries with it sanctions of consequences. To define this issue is much challenging because of the many varieties in which one can slice, reformat, or reproduce material from an already published study. This issue also goes beyond the duplication of a single study because it might possible that the same or similar data can be published in the early, middle, and later stages of an on-going study. This may have a damaging impact on the scientific study/literature base. Similar to slicing a cake, there are so many ways of representing a study or a set of data/information. We can slice a cake into different shapes like squares, triangles, rounds, or layers. Which of these might be the best way to slice a cake? Unfortunately, this may be the wrong question. The point is that the cake that is being referred to, the data/ information set or the study/findings, should not be sliced at all. Instead, the study should be presented as a whole to the readership to ensure the integrity of science/technology because of the impact that may have on patients who will be affected by the information contained in the literature/findings. Redundant, duplicate, or repetitive publications occur when there is representation of two or more studies, data sets, or publications in either electronic or print media. The publications can overlap partially or completely, such that a similar portion, major component(s), or complete representation of a previously/simultaneous ly or future published study is duplicated.
SALAMI SLICING: The slicing of research publication that would form one meaningful paper into several different papers is known as salami publication or salami slicing. Unlike duplicate publication, which involves reporting the exact same data in two or more publications, salami slicing involves breaking up or segmenting a large study into two or more publications. These segments are called slices of a study. As a general rule, as long as the slices of a broken-up study share the same hypotheses, population, and methods, this is not acceptable in general practice. The same slice should never be published more than once at all. According to the United States Office of Research Integrity (USORI), salami slicing can result in a distortion of the literature/findings by leading unsuspecting readers to believe that data presented in each salami slice (journal article) is derived from a different subject sample/source. Somehow this practice not only skews the scientific database but it creates repetition to waste reader's time as well as the time of editors and peer reviewers, who must also handle each paper separately.
Ethics is a system of moral principles and the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group, culture, etc. research is steady progress by which we have gained a better understanding, greater ability of prediction and ever-increasing control over the world.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. Introduction
➢ Curiosity and the self-driven efforts to satisfy personal curiosity form the basis of research.
➢Research involves systematic and creative investigations in any domain of
knowledge, be it about philosophical or materialistic issues, or anything in this Universe that can
be perceived by our senses.
➢ Research starts with questions for which a researcher wishes to seek answers. The researcher
may be involved alone in this act of seeking answer, or may involve a group or groups with
whom the collaborates.

6. 2. Ethics with respect to science and
research
“To be sure, it is impossible to prove the rightness of any ethical
principles, or even to argue in its favour in just the manner in
which we argue in favour of a scientific statement. Ethics is not a
science. But although there is no ‘rational scientific basis’of
ethics, there is an ethical basis of science and of rationalism”.
– Karl Popper
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 6
7. What is ethics?
➢Ethics are norms of conduct that distinguish between acceptable and
unacceptable behaviour.
➢As per the Cambridge University Dictionary of English, the word Ethics implies,
a system of accepted beliefs that control behavior, especially a system that is
based on morals.
➢Ethical conduct is a simple common sense that helps one to preserve the
integrity of the individual, society and environment based on shared values.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 7
8. Research ethics
➢Research ethics involves the application of fundamental ethical
principles to a variety of topics involving scientific research.
➢Research code of ethics educates and monitors a scientist
conducting a research to ensure a high ethical standards.
➢Research ethics are the set of ethics that govern how scientific and
other research is performed at research institutions such as
universities, and how it is disseminated.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 8
9. Importance of Research Ethics
Research ethics are important for a number of reasons.
❑ They promote the aims of research, such as expanding knowledge.
❑ They support the values required for collaborative work, such as mutual respect and fairness.
This is essential because scientific research depends on collaboration between researchers and
groups.
❑ They mean that researchers can be held accountable for their actions. Many researchers are
supported by public money, and regulations on conflicts of interest, misconduct, and research
involving humans or animals are necessary to ensure that money is spent appropriately.
❑They ensure that the public can trust research. For people to support and fund research, they
have to be confident in it.
❑They support important social and moral values, such as the principle of doing no harm to
others.

Honesty
Responsibility Openness
Autonomy
11. 1. Honesty
The trustworthiness of scientific research is based on the Intellectual and
operational honesty. So, the researcher should keep in mind the following
things to maintain honesty in his scientific research.
❑ Strictly avoid unacceptable practices such as fabrication, falsification, and
plagiarism.
❑ The research results must be documented and justified.
❑ In the presentation of experimental results, it should be represented within its full
context and not overstated.
❑ In communication with the public, scientific results should be presented
accurately and in its complexity, to avoid false expectations and over-
simplifications.
❑ Personal opinions or speculations must be presented as such, and should not be
presented as facts.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 11
12. Continue…
To ensure the trustworthiness of research, researcher should be
honest when reporting objectives, methods data analysis results
conclusions etc.
This requires accurate and balance reporting when:
➢ presenting and interpreting research
➢ making claims and recommendations based on finding
➢ acknowledging the work of other researcher
➢ applying for the research funding
➢ reviewing and evaluating research
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 12
13. Continue…
Researchers must uphold the standards of quality in their field and
honestly do the following things:
✓ Intellectual property and publication rights must be respected.
✓ Research results are developed, reviewed and published in a transparent and
unbiased manner.
✓ Authorship and inventorship shall be assigned only with genuine intellectual
contribution.
✓ In the case of research-related activities, the expertise of staff members shall be
considered before accepting/distributing tasks, to overcome favouritism.
✓ R v w ss ss ’s s s s ll b b s s l l s
grounds.
✓ In educational or mentorship capacities, these activities shall be performed at the
highest level of current knowledge.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 13
14. 4. Professional freedom
Scientific researchers, academic staff and students shall operate in a context of academic
freedom and independence. This independence should guard against commercial, political, and
personal interests, were needed, which could undermine the professional freedom of others.
➢Scientific design and research approach should be chosen principally to achieve
scientific goals.
➢External sponsors of scientific research shall allow for timely publication of research
results, and shall not impede the academic progress of students.
➢Potential conflicts of interest which would test a researcher’s and administration member’s
independence shall be disclosed.
➢Avoid situations where the researcher’s scientific objectivity would be compromised.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 14
15. 3. Openness
To ensure the credibility of scientific reasoning and to ensure that academic
reflection is consistent with practice in the relevant field of research, all phases
of research should be a transparent
This requires openness when reporting:
- Conflict of interest
- Planning of research
- Research methods applied
- Result and conclusion
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 15
16. Continue…
➢ Open, unbiased, and respectful communication and behaviour is essential to a healthy scientific community.
➢ Intellectual contributions and scientific discourse are necessary for a healthy academic climate.
➢Insights and critics are welcome from all, irrespective of academic rank.
➢Respect for all colleagues without discrimination based on gender, age, ethnicity, national origin, religious beliefs, sexual
orientation, or academic rank.
➢As an academic community we defend freedom in thought, research, expression, and the exchange of views and
information.
➢As an academic community we allow and encourage others to develop or take their own intellectual stance in research,
design and education.
➢As an academic community we reject all forms of abuse of position and other forms of harassment and degrading
treatment.
➢ Publication of research results shall be presented such that its results may be replicable.
➢ After publication, research data, design process, and results should be made accessible to colleagues for re-use
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 16
17. 4. Professional responsibility
Scientific researchers, academic staff and students are accountable for their research and
related activities from idea to publication.
➢ Researchers, staff and students maintain a high standard of adherence to principles of integrity
and ethical standards in their work, fully respecting the Code. Evading and covering unethical
behavior, even if such conduct or action is justified under the name of obedience and loyalty,
undermines the integrity of science research.
➢Training, supervision and mentorship should be treated with the highest degree of
professionalism.
➢In cases of possible harm or risks to other persons, scientific data, or consequences of scientific
results are to be reported.
➢In the research and its design, the code of ethics with respect to human and animal subjects
are involved must be upheld.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 17
18. Ethical codes cover the following areas

19. Reliability and Integrity
Research project must be honest and diligent work of the
scholar. This applies to the methods employed for the
project (what you did), data collection, analysis of results,
and whether it has been previously published. One should
not make up any data, including extrapolating unreasonably
from some of their results, or do anything which could be
construed as trying to mislead anyone. It is better to
undersell than over-exaggerate your findings. When
working with others, one should always keep to any
agreements, and act sincerely.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 19
20. Objectivity
We should aim to avoid bias in any aspect of your
research, including design, data analysis,
interpretation, and peer review.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 20
21. Carefulness
Take care in carrying out your research to avoid
careless mistakes. You should also review your
work carefully and critically to ensure that your
results are credible. It is also important to keep
full records of your research. If you are asked to
act as a peer reviewer, you should take the time
to do the job effectively and fully.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 21
22. Respect for Intellectual Property
You should never plagiarise, or copy, other people’s
work and try to pass it off as your own. You should
always ask for permission before using other people’s
tools or methods, unpublished data or results. Not
doing so is plagiarism. Obviously, you need to respect
copyrights and patents, together with other forms of
intellectual property, and always acknowledge
contributions to your research.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 22
23. Genuineness
Researcher should always be prepared to share data and
results, along with any new tools that have been developed,
when he/she publishes his findings. This helps to further
knowledge and advance science. Work must be reviewed
carefully and critically to ensure that the results are
credible. It becomes curial to keep full records of your
research. If you are asked to act as a peer reviewer, you
should take the time to do the job effectively and fully.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 23
24. Novelty in Publication
You should publish to advance to state of
research and knowledge, and not just to
advance your career. This means, in
essence, that you should not publish
anything that is not new, or that duplicates
someone else’s work.
30 June 2022 DR. MAHESH H. KOLTAME 24
25. Protection of Subjects: Human/Animal
If research involves people, researcher should make sure
that he/she minimizes any possible physical harm to the
subject, and maximizes the benefits both to participants
and other people.
One should always respect human/animal rights, including
the right to privacy and autonomy.

31. Intellectual honesty
- We have a moral duty to be honest. This duty is especially important
when we share ideas that can inform or persuade others.
- Intellectual Honesty combines good faith with a primary motivation
toward seeking true beliefs.
- This includes all forms of scholarship, consequential conversations such
as dialogue, debate, negotiations, product and service descriptions,
various forms of persuasion, and public communications such as
announcements, speeches, lectures, instruction, presentations,
publications, declarations, briefings, news releases, policy statements,
reports, religious instructions, social media posts, and journalism
including not only prose and speech, but graphs, photographs, and other
means of expression

32. 3. Intellectual honesty in research
- Intellectual honesty is honesty in the acquisition, analysis, and transmission of ideas. A person is
being intellectually honest when they, knowing the truth, state that truth.
- Intellectual honesty is an applied method of problem-solving, characterized by an unbiased,
honest attitude, which can be demonstrated in a number of different ways including:
✓Ensuring support for chosen ideologies does not interfere with the pursuit of truth;
✓Relevant facts and information are not purposefully omitted even when such things may
contradict one's hypothesis;
✓Facts are presented in an unbiased manner, and not twisted to give misleading impressions
or to support one view over another;
✓References, or earlier work, are acknowledged where possible, and plagiarism is avoided.

33. 4. Research integrity
Research integrity may be defined as active adherence to
the ethical principles and professional standards essential
for the responsible practice of research.
◦ By active adherence we mean adoption of the principles and
practices as a personal credo, not simply accepting them as
impositions by rule makers.
◦ By ethical principles we mean honesty, the golden rule,
trustworthiness, and high regard for the scientific records.

34. Research integrity
“For individuals research integrity is an aspect of moral character
and experience It involves above all a commitment to intellectual
honesty and personal responsibility for ones actions and to a range
of practices that characterize responsible research conduct”.

35. Research integrity
Good research practices are based on fundamental principles of research integrity.
These principles are:
• Reliability in ensuring the quality of research, reflected in the design, the methodology, the
analysis and the use of resources.
• Honesty in developing, undertaking, reviewing, reporting and communicating research in a
transparent, fair, full and unbiased way.
• Respect for colleagues, research participants, society, ecosystems, cultural heritage and the
environment.
• Accountability for the research from idea to publication, for its management and organisation,
for training, supervision and mentoring, and for its wider impacts.
