Scientific integrity and ethics in multidisciplinary biomedical research are complex, requiring respect for life, open science, and "ethics-by-design" approaches. Researchers and institutions must address digital risks and responsible evaluation.
Area of Science:
- Multidisciplinary biomedical research encompassing biological, biophysical, clinical, computational, environmental, human, and social sciences.
Background:
- The framework of scientific integrity and ethics is increasingly complex in modern research.
- This complexity necessitates a nuanced approach to ethical considerations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the multifaceted dimensions of scientific integrity and ethics in contemporary biomedical research.
- To highlight key areas of ethical concern and proposed solutions.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis and discussion of ethical principles.
- Exploration of open science, FAIR principles, and open access.
- Examination of "ethics-by-design" in the context of digital risks and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
- Discussion on reformed and responsible research evaluation.
Main Results:
- Key dimensions include respect for living beings, societies, and the environment.
- Emphasis on open science principles (FAIR data, open access) is crucial.
- "Ethics-by-design" is vital for addressing AI and digital risks.
- Reformed and responsible evaluation systems are needed.
Conclusions:
- Scientific integrity and ethics require a comprehensive, integrated approach.
- Shared responsibility between institutions and researchers is essential.
- Awareness of political aspects, issues, and criticisms is paramount for ethical research conduct.
