From: "Bargheer, Margo Friederike" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2015 07:19:10 +0000 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.

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
