Emilio Lora-Tamayo of CSIC speaking at the 2015 World Science Forum in Budapest. From his slide (pictured): “Research integrity is crucial because it safeguards the foundations of science; it maintains public confidence; it underpins public investment; it protects the reputation and careers of researchers; it helps to prevent adverse impact on patients and the public; it promotes economic advancement; and it prevents avoidable waste of resources.”TRACY VENCE
“These may seem obvious but they are so fundamental to what we as a community of scientists do that we need to keep reminding ourselves of them.”

Not making full data available when a paper is published “should be regarded as scientific malpractice—something we have to stop.”
