> *FORRT brings the open scholarship and reproducible science movements to teaching and mentoring, in the pursuit for the best conceivable practices in higher education. Our aspiration is to build, together with educators, a pathway towards the incremental adoption of open and reproducible science tenets in education. We believe the integration of these tenets should not be seen as an additional layer to existing proposals for reform but rather one that can unite them.*

We successfully arrived at the end of ***Phase 1*** 🎉. This means we managed to go from an ambitious idea to a full blown crowd-sourced project in which more than ***110 collaborators*** defined via consensus after much discussion and reviewed upwards of ***250 Open Scholarship terms***. We published our manuscript at [***Nature Human Behavior***](https://doi.org/10.1038/s41562-021-01269-4), where all contributors are co-authors. 🥳

**Term: CRediT**

**Definition:** The Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT; https://credit.niso.org/) is a high-level taxonomy, including 14 roles, that can be used to indicate the roles typically adopted by contributors to scientific scholarly output. The roles describe each contributor’s specific contribution to the scholarly output. They can be assigned multiple times to different authors and one author can also be assigned multiple roles. CRediT includes the following roles: Conceptualization, Data curation, Formal Analysis, Funding acquisition, Investigation, Methodology, Project administration, Resources, Software, Supervision, Validation, Visualization, Writing – original draft, Writing – review & editing. A description of the different roles can be found in the work of Brand et al., (2015).

"name": "Research Misconduct: Fabrication, Falsification, Plagiarism",
"description": "This sub-cluster focuses on the “cardinal sins” of research – intentional acts that grossly violate integrity. Research misconduct is formally defined (in many policies) as fabrication (making up data or results), falsification (manipulating research processes or data), and plagiarism (using others’ ideas or words without credit). These actions undermine the very foundation of science by injecting falsehoods and eroding trust. Students explore famous misconduct cases and their repercussions, as well as studies on how frequently scientists admit to misbehavior. Surveys suggest blatant misconduct is rare but not vanishingly so (on the order of 2%–4% of researchers, depending on field, have admitted to Fabrication, Fallisfication and Plagiarism (FFP) (Bouter, 2024), with higher percentages witnessing or suspecting it in others​ (Bouter, 2024)). Beyond statistics, readings discuss the causes and risk factors for misconduct – e.g. extreme publication pressure or inadequate oversight – and the systems in place to detect and deter FFP (institutional investigations, whistleblower protections, and sanctions like retractions). This sub-cluster sets a cautionary foundation: understanding what not to do in research, why such behavior occurs, and how the scientific community responds when the worst breaches of integrity come to light.",

"description": "This sub-cluster examines integrity issues in the dissemination phase of science – covering authorship ethics, peer review, and publication practices. It tackles questions like: Who deserves authorship and in what order? How to avoid ghost authorship (uncredited contributors) or gift/guest authorship (undeserved credit)? Students learn about authorship guidelines (e.g., International Committee of Medical Journal Editor ((ICMJE)) criteria) designed to ensure fair credit and accountability. We also discuss the role of peer review as a quality safeguard and the integrity challenges it faces – from biases in reviewer selection to cases of peer review fraud. The rise of predatory journals (which subvert quality standards for profit) is a contemporary integrity threat, potentially flooding literature with unvetted findings. Additionally, this sub-cluster emphasizes the importance of corrections and retractions as part of the self-correction mechanism of science. We explore whether increasing retraction rates signify improving vigilance or persistent problems​ (Bouter, 2024). Key themes include the responsibilities of journals (via ethics committees like the Committee on Publication Ethics ((COPE)) and editors in handling misconduct or honest errors, and emerging innovations like open peer review to improve transparency. By engaging with these topics, future researchers learn to navigate the publication process with integrity – ensuring proper attribution, objective review, and willingness to correct the record.

"description": "Fostering a culture of integrity requires education. This sub-cluster looks at how researchers are taught (and learn) responsible conduct. Many jurisdictions and funders mandate Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training for students and staff – covering topics from data management and mentoring to publication ethics and conflicts of interest. We evaluate the impact of these educational programs: what works, what doesn’t, and how to innovate. Early meta-analyses showed that standard ethics training has modest positive effects on knowledge and attitudes​ (Antes et al., 2009)​, especially when using interactive, case-based approaches rather than dry lectures​ (Antes et al., 2009). Contemporary efforts aim to go beyond simply knowing the rules – to shape researchers’ ethical decision-making skills and “virtue ethics” (instilling values like honesty and care). We discuss novel training interventions, such as engaging researchers in moral case deliberation on real dilemmas or training faculty to model and transmit RI principles (e.g. “train-the-trainer” programs for PhD supervisors​ (Bouter, 2024). Policy initiatives like the Cape Town Statement (2022) emphasize that RI education should be continuous, assessed, and supported by institutions, not a one-off workshop. Overall, this sub-cluster reinforces that integrity is a skill set and mindset that can be nurtured. By empowering researchers through education, the community can proactively prevent misconduct and normalize ethical best practices as the default mode of work.",
