Abstract: Scientific integrity is at the forefront of the scientific research enterprise. This paper provides an overview of key existing efforts on scientific integrity by federal agencies, foundations, nonprofit organizations, professional societies, and academia from 1989 to April 2016. It serves as a resource for the scientific community on scientific integrity work and helps to identify areas in which more action is needed. Overall, there is tremendous activity in this area and there are clear linkages among the efforts of the five sectors. All the same, scientific integrity needs to remain visible in the scientific community and evolve along with new research paradigms. High priority in instilling these values falls upon all stakeholders.

Updates to the Scientific Integrity Resource Guide

As part of the publication of this work, IAFNS committed to keeping the “Resource Guide” a living document by creating a page on the IAFNS website to post additional and new work on scientific integrity in the 5 different sectors each year.
