Researchers on research integrity: a survey of European and American researchers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reports of questionable or detrimental research practices (QRPs) call into question the reliability of scientific evidence and the trustworthiness of research. A critical component of the research ecosystem is the organization within which research takes place.
