ATM: 1st National Conference on Research Integrity

With international experts on research integrity, and over 300 participants from more than 40 institutions, BatStateU research administrators (Dr. Ana Pholyn Balahadia-Mortel - Asst. Director of RIA Unit, Dr. Gemar Perez - Head of Research Office Pablo Borbon) participate in the first-ever national conference on research integrity.

Sessions cover common integrity issues such as questionable research practices, authorship, predatory practices, and highlight institutions' efforts to promote responsible conduct of research.

Learning with and benchmarking from other academic institutions and research colleagues, the RIA Unit aims to share timely information and prepare more opportunities for Red Spartan community members to improve our knowledge, attitudes, and practices on research integrity.
