This handbook is a one-stop shop for current information, issues and challenges in the fields of research ethics and scientific integrity. It provides a comprehensive coverage of research and integrity issues, both within researchers home discipline and in relation to similar concerns in other disciplines. The handbook covers common elements shared by disciplines and research professions, such as consent, privacy, data management, fraud, and plagiarism. The handbook also includes contributions and perspectives from academics from various disciplines, treating issues specific to their fields. Readers are able to quickly source the most comprehensive and up-to-date information, protagonists, issues and challenges in the field. Experienced researchers keen to assess their own perspectives, as well as novice researchers aiming to establish the field, will equally find the handbook of interest and practical benefit. It saves them a great deal of time in sourcing the disparate available material in these fields and it is the first port of call for a wide range of researchers, research advisors, funding agencies and research reviewers.The most important feature is the handbooks ability to provide practical advice and guidance to researchers in a wide range of disciplines and professions to help them think through their approach to difficult questions related to the principles, values and standards they need to bring to their research practice.
