Dear All,

in a way it is a good sign that these questions come up in the
library. It shows (to me) that librarians are taken seriously as
scouts in an ever-growing complex information and communication
environment as the scholarly publishing system. Thus in our university
a delegate from the library was part of a group of senior scholars and
professors undergoing a thorough training in research integrity. The
main aim was to set up curriculae for prevention courses, hence in our
information competency courses research integrity plays an important
part.

It might help to give students the information that most research
institutions have a "research integrity" policy and that the policy is
usually backed up with ombuds people advising within strict
confidentiality. Increasingly they are called RIO (research integrity
officers).
The Singapore Statement on Research Integrity

http://www.singaporestatement.org/

is a compilation of standards (just like the COPE agreement) that
might be of help too.

Best
Margo

Ann, as the question falls squarely into publication ethics I would
suggest that the question is best resolved through COPE, They have an
invaluable set of guidelines on publication ethics and knowing that
source could be very useful for the users of the INASP group.

Dear All -- this group was most helpful with my recent posting of an
African librarian's question (on an INASP copyright moodle) regarding
license simplification.  Some good ideas were generated.

So here's another live question.  How would you advise the librarian
who has asked this:

"What actions would you take if as a student you find out that your
members or supervisors have published your research work without your
permission?"

It's not clear whether he is asking this for himself or on behalf of a
student, but the question remains the same.  Thank you for your
thoughts, Ann
