Abstract

In addition to effective training practices, well-structured educational resources are important for developing successful research integrity training programs. A considerable amount of educational material has been developed in the last years, but there is a necessity to find better ways to assess and categorize the already existing resources. We collected 237 freely available online RI educational resources with the aim to describe them in as much detail as possible using a set of well-defined criteria. We developed a grid that gives a full description, based on our 21 criteria, for each collected resource. Mainly videos and online RI training are present in our collection. Worldwide, resources are mainly from the US, whereas in Europe mainly from the UK. In the majority of the cases, the educational resources are not customized, presenting the big three (falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism) as the most addressed topics. Making RI educational resources easily accessible might help to increase awareness about the topic. Moreover, the characterization we provide might help researchers and students to deal with daily RI-related issues, to look for the right tool at the right time, and might help institutions and trainers to develop new trainings without the need to develop new tools.Abbreviations: CITI: Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative; COPE: Committee on Publication Ethics; ENERI: European Network of Research Ethics and Research Integrity; ENRIO: the European Network of Research Integrity Offices; EU: European Union; NIH: National Institutes of Health; NSF: National Science Foundation; NRIN: the Netherlands Research Integrity Network; ORI: the Office of Research Integrity; PPT: powerpoint; QRP: questionable research practice; RI: research integrity; RCR: responsible conduct of research
