Brief Description
The plan is to develop a Research Ethics & Integrity Manual for a fictitious (fake) website "Researchers Meet". The website is a place for professionals, students, researchers, and non-professionals to join on a membership basis and collaborate as well as post and find research interests across the globe. The purpose of this fictitious site is to establish open dialogue/contribution in the sharing of global knowledge conversations. Also to aid assistance in collaboration, knowledge exchange, and increase attention on certain research areas.
Researchers are cross collaborating with individuals in other countries and states, the manual will serve as a source to aid individuals in ethically collaborating and to permit researchers the ability to remain salient in ethical issues, as well as avoid and resolve ethical impasses, while remaining authentic to their ethical obligations and social and professional responsibilities.
Why I Choose this Project
I selected this project for the reason that technology is rapidly evolving and our lives is becoming full to capacity with daily meetings, assignments, projects, family obligations, and personal commitments that we have less time to meet face-to-face to any further extent, so the main purpose of the website is to create a local, international, and global network of all types of researchers and provide fruitful collaborations across cultures, disciplines, and backgrounds. The website is a platform to interchange ideas, new developments, and discussions with other like minded researchers, students, professionals, and/or other non-professionals in the field.
Future Project Aspirations
The manual will also serve on a smaller scale to institutions or universities with a blueprint to establish the "Researchers Meet" website, which will assist as a campus collaboration locator to encourage collaborations across disciplines and departments within the institution. It will also serve as a tool for novice researchers to acquire the opportunity to connect, collaborate and create research with expert researchers as well as have a major role in the scientific progress, gain experience, and insight in the field not necessarily their own.
Connections to Academic Integrity
The connections to academic integrity will focus on ethics and integrity, copyright issues, the honor system, and authorship.
Final Product Plan
- Research Ethics & Integrity Manual
- One splash page of the fictitious website "Researchers Meet"
