Description¶

The article describes a study designed with the Office of Research Integrity "to learn what role faculty advisors and mentors believe they play in educating doctoral students to conduct responsible research." The approach targets faculty members' own perspectives on their role and their institutions' role in developing responsible researchers, addressing a gap where only assertions of importance existed without focused studies of what faculty actually do.
