In a Commentary in this week’s Nature, Christine Boesz and Nigel Lloyd of the OECD argue for a practical framework for examining misconduct allegations in multinational scientific teams: it is imperative, they argue, for researchers in cross-boarder collaborations to be held accountable for the integrity of their work. A related Nature Editorial and Feature also explore making collaborations work better.

Have your say on policing international misconduct here:

BIONET, is a China-Europe collaboration on the ethical governance of biological and biomedical issues, funded by the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme, which is addressing these issues in the context of Sino-European collaborations, particulary in the fields of reproductive and regenerative medicine research, clinical trials research and genomic research. One of the outcomes of the project will be a set of recommendations on best practice in the ethical governance of research collaborations by BIONET’s Expert Group.
