The role of scientific associations in promoting research integrity and deterring research misconduct. Commentary on 'Challenges in studying the effects of scientific societies on research integrity' (Levine and Iutcovitch).

ABSTRACT

They must therefore leverage their strengths as professional organizations to integrate ethical considerations into their ongoing support of their academic disciplines. This paper suggests five strategies for doing so.
