“…The relative decrease of single country papers, and the increase of two or multiple countries indicates that joint papers in RIRE are involving more countries, institution, and authors. As more institutions adopt initiatives such as formal structured training (DuBois et al, 2008 ; Ferguson et al, 2007 ; Satalkar & Shaw, 2019 ; Sponholz, 2000 ), there may be more opportunities for further collaboration and communication towards harmonizing standards to promote more uniform global research practices (Frankel et al, 2016 ). Secondly, the scope of topics is expected to change depending on factors such as relevance to the publishing country or funding agency, and forthcoming applications or technologies.…”

Amid an increasingly demanding research environment, there has been a growing interest in studies concerning Research Integrity and Research Ethics (RIRE). Between 1990 and 2020, over 9700 publications were published to address problematic research conduct such as falsification, plagiarism, and related protocols and standards. In this work, country-level trends and collaborative structures are examined with respect to economic group. Our results showed that RIRE publications are predominantly led by the West, with North America and Western Europe contributing the most. While there is interest within growing economies such as China, the pace is not comparable to its overall publications. However, international collaborations on RIRE grew to account for nearly 30% of all publications on the subject in 2020. Although there is a stronger preference for high income countries to collaborate with other high income countries, we observe a rise in partnerships between high-/middle-income and middle-/lower-income co-authorship pairs in the last decade. These trends point to a maturing global community with distributed knowledge transfer, towards more unified international standards for research ethics and integrity.

“…Therefore, integrating research ethics education into graduate pharmacy programs in Jordan is encouraged. Establishing a federal body in Jordan and other middle and low income countries that oversees research integrity-for instance, one with similar missions to the US federal Office of Research Integrity 5 and the Department of Supervision and Scientific Integrity of China's Ministry of Science and Technology 6 may be a tremendous asset for implementing different aspects of research integrity into research institutions and research-based graduate programs and in handling research misconduct allegations (Frankel et al, 2016;Zeng & Resnik, 2010).…”

Despite the potential value of graduate-level research ethics training, most Middle East countries, including Jordan, do not routinely offer formal research ethics training. In students enrolled in Jordanian master’s level graduate program in pharmacy, the current study assessed: 1- differences in pre- and post-enrollment exposure to research ethics core themes, 2- whether this exposure was through a formal course or in an informal setting, and 3- student attitudes towards research ethics education and the need for integrating a dedicated research ethics course into pharmacy graduate programs. A 12-item on-line survey was developed by the authors and disseminated to a convenience sample of current and former master-level pharmacy students in Jordan. A total of 61 eligible respondents completed the survey. A minority of respondents (38%) acknowledged receiving research ethics training prior to enrollment into a postgraduate pharmacy program with nearly half (16%) describing this training as informal. In comparison, a larger percentage of the total respondents (56%) had received research ethics training during their postgraduate program enrollment, with nearly half of those (25%) indicating that this training was informal. A majority of respondents reported a strong need for integrating a formal research ethics course into postgraduate pharmacy curriculum (90%) to support their research training and thesis writing (89%). Overall, the study revealed a notable lack of research ethics education for graduate-level pharmacy students in Jordan.

“…In the European Union (EU), the maturity of policies and procedures for detecting and handling cases of student plagiarism varies widely, with good practice in national policies found in Sweden, Austria and Slovenia (Glendinning et al, 2013). The US government, including the Institute of Medicine, the US National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health and other agencies, have issued a series of policies on responsible conduct of research education, to do their part in holding the research community accountable for adhering to accepted research practices and ethical standards (Frankel et al, 2016). Meanwhile, Resnik et al (2016) also concluded that most of the top academic research institutions in the United States do not address conflict of interest in policy, and there is a need for federal regulation and guidance.…”

Academic integrity has long been an issue of concern to the academic community, and in recent years has attracted attention worldwide. As the country with the world's largest research output, especially as shown during the recent pandemic, China is actively working to combat academic misconduct. To explore China's initiatives and actions in this regard, 75 Chinese official policies from the national level were collected, analysed and reviewed. Based on the policy text, this study examines the construction of the academic integrity system in China. Through grounded theory and text analysis methods, six parts of the policy system were identified: current status, goals and objectives, polycentric governance, cultural‐cognitive measures, normative measures and regulative measures. The results show the specific measures taken by China with regards to each part and indicate that an academic integrity system has been formed in China.
