Ethical Issues of the Organization and Management of Research Information

Abstract

The paper offers a comprehensive examination of the ethical considerations surrounding the management of research information within an organization. It includes a summary of survey findings and an overview of ongoing research efforts. Special attention is given to ethical standards pertaining to data quality, data models, and data formats, which are essential factors in organizing research knowledge. As open science continues to gain prominence, research ethics - such as integrity, openness, and transparency - become increasingly crucial. Adhering to these open science principles will play a pivotal role in determining future research funding. Hence, it is crucial to understand how current research information systems (CRIS), a particular type of knowledge organization systems, deal with matters concerning scientific misconduct and integrate ethical guidelines for both individuals and institutions into their data structures.
