Checklists for master students, PhD students, and their supervisors on the transition from academic integrity to research ethics
ENThe importance of research ethics and research integrity is a growing concern within the research community (Armond et al. 2021; Fanelli 2009; Helgesson & Bülow 2021; Tauginienė et al. 2019). This is in part due to the prevalence of scientific misconduct and bad research practices, which all risk undermining public trust in science and research. While there is no simple answer to the question of how to best prevent research misconduct and other deviations from good research practice, one way forward is to prepare students in higher education already at an early stage and to encourage a smoother transition from academic integrity to research integrity. Students are potentially future researchers thus developing their attitudes, knowledge and skills in line with responsible research conduct as well as their ability to deal in situations of unacceptable research practices is necessary (Gladwin 2018). It has also been recognised that next to formal education and training students observe and learn from the behaviour of others in academia (e.g., researchers or supervisors) (Gladwin 2018; Löfström 2012; Rissanen & Löfström 2014); therefore, role modelling and mentoring are inherent parts of teaching and learning in research integrity and ethics (Holbrook et al. 2017; Hyytinen & Löfström 2017).
