Please note: To accommodate reviewer and recommender holiday schedules, we will be closed to submissions from 1st July — 1st September. During this time, reviewers will be able to submit reviews and recommenders will issue decisions, but no new or revised submissions can be made by authors. The one exception to this rule is that authors using the scheduled track who submit their initial Stage 1 snapshot prior to 1st July can choose a date within the shutdown period to submit their full Stage 1 manuscript.

We are recruiting recommenders (editors) from all research fields!

<p>Responsible conduct of research (RCR) is generally agreed to be a laudable goal. It promotes high quality research practices, which should lead to more credible findings, and instill confidence in the research community. However, it is as yet unclear to what extent RCR differs across disciplines. Currently, many approaches to research and training in RCR are either generalised across all disciplines, at a high level (e.g., international frameworks on research integrity) or at the other extreme, discipline-specific. Relying on the expertise and knowledge of a carefully selected multidisciplinary panel of RCR scholars and practitioners, this Delphi study aims to expand the current (underspecified) frameworks of RCR to develop a more diverse and comprehensive concept of what constitutes RCR across disciplines, along with a mapping that captures this updated understanding. The Delphi process will begin with participants refining a provisional list of dimensions of RCR collated from previous literature and interviews, then will proceed with several rounds of rating the importance of each dimension to particular disciplines. [After completion of the study, we will report the details of participant numbers, rounds of Delphi, and a summary of results here.]</p>
