scientific integrity
Trustworthy scholarly conduct
Scientific integrity is the commitment to honesty, transparency, and rigor in research.
It encompasses accurate reporting of methods and results, proper attribution of sources, avoidance of fabrication or falsification, and disclosure of conflicts of interest.
Violations—like manipulating data or suppressing unfavorable findings—undermine trust in science itself.
