Responding to research misconduct allegations brought against top university officials
Account Res. 2024 Feb 27:1-6. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2024.2321179. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInvestigating research misconduct allegations against top officials can create significant conflicts of interest (COIs) for universities that may require changes to existing oversight frameworks. One way of addressing some of these challenges is to develop policies and procedures that specifically address investigation of allegations of misconduct involving top university officials. Steps can also be taken now regardless of whether such a body is created. Federal and university research misconduct regulations and policies may ne...

Limits of ethical non-human subjects research in an applied setting
Account Res. 2024 Feb 18:1-22. doi: 10.1080/08989621.2024.2313018. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEthical research follows numerous rules and regulations to ensure that all human subjects are protected during the collection and dissemination of research outcomes. Nevertheless, there is often a critical distinction drawn between human subjects research and non-human subjects research (NHSR). The latter can also be described as non-research activities, which typically reduces any oversight even if human subjects are involved. Despite the need to conduct ethical NHSR or non-research activities in an applied setting, there are ...
