JST Research Integrity Seminar "Introduction to Research Ethics Instructional Video, Gaps in Ethics 4"

JST Research Integrity Seminar
In May 2025, "Gaps in Ethics 4" was released as the latest Research Ethics Instructional Videos, "Gaps in Ethics" Series. This video focuses on the theme of "Questionable Research Practices (QRPs) " and covers issues such as the handling of research data and communication within the laboratory in two versions : One in the humanities and social sciences, and the other in the natural sciences. By simulating the issues that can arise in any research setting through the drama, the video aims to provide an opportunity for researchers, students, etc. from various perspectives to view research ethics as a personal issue.

At this seminar, we invited professors who supervised and cooperated in the production of these instructional videos to give lectures on ethical issues in research settings, the reality of QRPs, and how to utilize the instructional videos in RCR training.
