							<p>The opening module in this course provided an overview of <glossary placement="bottom" content="Conducting research in a way that lives up to the duties and obligations researchers are expected to embrace.">good research conduct</glossary>. This module, by contrast, provides an overview of <em>irresponsible research practices</em>.</p>

							<p>Some practices, such as fabricating answers to research questionnaires, are obviously irresponsible, but what about other irresponsible practices? What makes a practice irresponsible? Are all irresponsible practices equal, or should they be treated differently?</p>
							<p>This module provides an overview of the ongoing discussion of the definition of, and appropriate ways of responding to, irresponsible practice in research. It covers:</p>
							
							<ul>
								<li>The two basic ways in which governments and organisations have responded to misbehaviour in research</li>
								<li>The definition of 'misconduct' in research</li>
								<li>The definition and use of the term 'questionable research practices'</li>
								<li>The steps that should be taken to avoid and report irresponsible behaviour in research.</li>
							</ul>
