Abstract:

This talk will cover four main areas of RCR that affects graduate students: 1) an understanding of the research misconduct policy and how to deal with perceived misconduct, 2) detrimental research practices, which are practices of questionable integrity that fall outside the misconduct policy, 3) authorship issues and 4) participating in peer review.
