Efforts to respond to scientific misconduct and promote the responsible conduct of research are being made by several countries around the world. Web sites have been developed by organizations in some countries to address these subjects. Activities supporting these topics include the development of policies for handling misconduct allegations and standards of good practice as well as the convening of conferences to discuss issues and stimulate action. Some cases have been reported in the media and journal articles.  The articles in the Activity and Misconduct Cases sections are reprinted from the ORI Newsletter.

ORI welcomes contributions to this section about websites and activities related to the responsible conduct of research and research integrity as well as misconduct cases occurring in other countries.
