Abstract: | Beyond impressionistic observations, little is known about the role and influence of scientific societies on research conduct.
Acknowledging that the influence of scientific societies is not easily disentangled from other factors that shape norms and
practices, this article addresses how best to study the promotion of research integrity generally as well as the role and
impact of scientific societies as part of that process. In setting forth the parameters of a research agenda, the article
addresses four issues: (1) how to conceptualize research on scientific societies and research integrity; (2) challenges and
complexities in undertaking basic research; (3) strategies for undertaking basic research that is attentive to individual,
situational, organizational, and environmental levels of analysis; and (4) the need for evaluation research as integral to
programmatic change and to assessment of the impact of activities by scientific societies.
This topic was initially discussed at the AAAS-Office of Research Integrity (ORI) meeting in Washington DC on the theme: “The
Role and Activities of Scientific Societies in Promoting Research Integrity” held on April 10–11, 2000.
