ORI invites the research community to submit news articles, commentaries, opinion pieces, research findings, calls for papers, conference announcements, or case summaries not involving PHS funded research to the ORI Newsletter.

News articles should focus on the new, pioneering, innovative actions that promote the responsible conduct of research, research integrity, or the prevention, detection, reporting or investigation of research misconduct. These actions may involve, but are not limited to, the development of organizational infrastructure, the adoption of guidelines or policies, the creation of websites, the institution of training programs, the conduct of self-assessments, and the establishment of awards and so on.

Generally, contributions should be 800 words, single spaced. Questions and contributions should be submitted to Sandra Titus (editor) via email at Sandra.Titus@hhs.gov.

Deadlines are January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 for the March, June, September and December issues respectively. By-lines will be given on accepted contributions that identify the authors and their organizations. Decisions to accept, reject, edit, or submit contributions for peer review are made at the sole discretion of ORI.
