Abstract:

Summary Points

Most high-income countries have developed policies and initiatives to address research misconduct, including regulations, ethical guidance, professional standards, journal policies, education in the responsible conduct of research, and oversight by national bodies and research institutions. Some high-income countries have not developed policies and initiatives, and oversight of research integrity in these countries continues to evolve. Since misconduct is a global concern, international guidelines, such as the Singapore Statement on Research Integrity, are an important step toward international cooperation on research integrity.
