PRINTEGER analyses the incidence and individual, social, and organisational causes and dynamics of misconduct. It also analyses how institutions respond to allegations, specifically in interaction with neighbouring law, the media, complex research organisations, and systemic changes in research. From the perspective of the research work floor, including the daily work of journal editors or research managers, PRINTEGER will analyse how current instruments of integrity policy operate in practice. How do guidelines best contribute to integrity? What other instruments and procedures will promote integrity? The aim of PRINTEGER is to provide concrete tools and advice to promote research integrity in Europe. The project includes eight partners and will be carried out in the period 2015 - 2018.The successful candidate for this position will contribute to HiOA's work in the project, which focuses on organisational ethics.
