Understanding Research Integrity – Challenges and Frameworks, Part One

Webinar

Scope

Integrity is the cornerstone of scholarly research, yet it is increasingly challenged by issues such as errors, misconduct, and retractions. This two-part webinar series explores the foundations of research integrity and the systems that support it. In Part 1: Understanding the Landscape, we’ll examine the principles, pressures, and practices that shape ethical research. In Part 2: Upholding Integrity, we’ll take a closer look at the role of retractions—why they happen, what they signal, and how institutions, publishers, and researchers can respond to protect the credibility of the scholarly record.

Confirmed speakers for Part I include Mohammed Hosseini, Assistant Professor, Preventive Medicine (Biostatistics and Informatics), Northwestern University; Jason Hu, Vice President of Research Integrity at Taylor & Francis Publishing Group and Working Group Chair for United2Act; and Gráinne McNamara, Research Integrity/Publication Ethics Manager, Karger. Maria Zalm, Senior Editor, Team Manager Publication Ethics, PLOS, will serve as the moderator.

Confirmed speakers for Part II include Caitlyn Bakker, Discovery Technologies Librarian, University of Regina; Mathilda (Tilla) Edmunds, Director, Product Management, Research & Analytics Solutions, Clarivate; and Lauren Flintoft, Research Integrity Manager, IOP Publishing.  Nettie Lagace, Program Director, Silverchair will serve as the moderator.

A sincere appreciation is extended to Nettie Lagace, Silverchair and Mitchell Scott, University of Kentucky, for their efforts in bringing this program together and participation on the NISO Education Committee.

Additional Information

NISO assumes organizations register as a group. The model assumes that an unlimited number of staff will be watching the live broadcast in a single location, but also includes access to an archived recording of the event for those who may have timing conflicts. 

Educational program contacts and registrants receive sign-on instructions via email three business days prior to the virtual event. If you have not received your instructions by the day before an event, please contact NISO headquarters for assistance via email (nisohq@niso.org). 

Registrants for an event may cancel participation and receive a refund (less $30.00) if the notice of cancellation is received at NISO HQ (nisohq@niso.org) one full week prior to the event date. If received less than 7 days before, no refund will be provided. 

Links to the archived recording of the broadcast are distributed to registrants 24-48 business hours following the close of the live event. Access to that recording is intended for internal use of fellow staff at the registrant’s organization or institution. Shared resources are posted to the NISO event page.

All events follow the NISO Code of Conduct. More information can be found here.

Broadcast Platform

NISO uses the Zoom platform for the purpose of broadcasting our live events. Zoom provides apps for a variety of computing devices (tablets, laptops, etc.) To view the broadcast, you will need a device that supports the Zoom app. Attendees may also choose to listen just to audio on their phones. Sign-on credentials include the necessary dial-in numbers, if that is your preference. Once notified of their availability, recordings may be viewed from the Zoom platform.
