Strengthening Scientific Integrity Through Regulation: the Cooperation Between Law and Science

This paper aims to demonstrate that Research Integrity is a vital component that promotes effective collaboration between regulations and scientific inquiry. It begins by defining the concept of Research Integrity, particularly highlighting its relationship with Research Ethics. By positing that the general definition of Research Integrity pertains to adherence to guidelines and professional standards, the analysis focuses on clearly identifying these guidelines. This includes an examination of international codes of conduct and ethical guidelines, on one side, and a discussion of the role of law in regulating Research Integrity on the other side. Ultimately, this analysis seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex dimensions of Research Integrity.
