Abstract: In this talk, the University of Illinois Policy on Integrity in Research and Publication (http://go.uic.edu/uiresintegrity) will be reviewed, highlighting the responsibilities of individuals to practice the principles of research integrity. The procedures for reviewing research misconduct will also be reviewed. Finally, several case studies of research misconduct will be reviewed. Following the presentation and discussion, the audience should understand the responsibilities of researchers and the consequences of failures to adhere to the practice of Research Integrity.
