Survey on Research Integrity

Survey on Research Integrity



Time pressure, strange outcomes, hierarchy, requests for funding – there are many factors that can put pressure on scientific integrity. What are your experiences as a researcher? The NSRI (National Survey on Research Integrity) survey has posed that question to 40,000 researchers in the Netherlands. The survey started with an email campaign on 15 October and will be open for about a month.


Since scientific research results guide decisions about public health and welfare, not only should the results of research be reliable, but how the research is done too, says project leader Prof. Lex Bouter (VU and AMC). The NSRI’s objective is to restore society’s confidence in science.


The results of the survey should lead to a reliable assessment of questionable research practices in various scientific domains. The underlying causes of these practices, as well as the role of various bodies such as research institutes, funding bodies and journals in them, must also be made clear. NSRI expects to present its results in the second quarter of 2021.
