REACH (Research Highlights and Current Happenings) is the new bimonthly publication of the Science Integrity Alliance, designed to go beyond a traditional newsletter. With interactive features, dynamic visuals, and direct links to resources, each section offers a distinct lens on the field: from spotlights on major initiatives and in-depth event coverage to innovations in tools, evolving infrastructures, policy updates, community connections, and partner profiles. The inaugural issue showcases the launch of the Science Integrity Alliance, coverage of the First U.S. National Conference on Research Integrity, an insider’s look at COPE’s evolution, and an interview with Lex Bouter—together reflecting the breadth and depth of research integrity today. Explore the inaugural issue now, and subscribe to our premium membership to access all upcoming editions and exclusive content.

The Science Integrity Alliance is pleased to announce the launch of the Integrity Café, a new virtual gathering space for members to share timely updates, events, and resources specifically related to research integrity.
The Integrity Café offers a casual space for exchanging concise, purposeful content that helps strengthen responsible research practices. It’s your spot to share a useful resource you’ve discovered, highlight an upcoming event, or post a quick update about an initiative directly tied to research integrity.
Open to all members with a public profile, the Integrity Café complements our other channels by supporting informal yet focused exchanges.
Looking for deeper conversations? Our premium HIKE forum—designed for structured discussions on research integrity—will launch soon.
Please review our Café Etiquette before posting: share only quick, helpful items with a clear link to a specific resource, event, or integrity-related news. Posts unrelated to these, overly promotional content, and topics better suited for HIKE will be removed. Repetitive or disrespectful posts are not allowed.
We look forward to seeing what you’ll bring to the table. ☕
Join the Integrity Café today—your virtual seat is waiting!

Prof. Jennifer Byrne has been awarded the 2025 David Vaux Research Integrity Fellowship Award by The Australian Academy of Science.
The prestigious fellowship recognizes Prof. Byrne's pioneering work in detecting and addressing problematic research articles. Her journey began when she identified concerning patterns in published cancer papers, leading to the development of specialized software for detecting potentially fabricated research. Prof. Byrne's comprehensive approach includes engaging with journals, mentoring students, and fostering dialogue between publishers and researchers to combat research misconduct.
With this fellowship, Prof. Byrne plans to conduct presentations at research centers across Australia, focusing on engaging early-career researchers and addressing contemporary challenges in scientific publishing, including paper mills and the undeclared use of AI. She will also participate in international conferences to contribute to global discussions on publication integrity.
The David Vaux Research Integrity Fellowship Award, established in 2023, honors individuals who demonstrate exceptional leadership in promoting scientific integrity.
Prof. Byrne serves as a member of the Science Integrity Alliance Advisory Board, contributing her expertise to advancing research integrity globally.

In collaboration with Road2Openness, the Science Integrity Alliance will foster the assessment of Open Science practices at scientific institutions across Brazil.
This initiative includes adapting the Road2Openness Open Science Self-Assessment tool to the Brazilian context, followed by its implementation through a case study.
If you are interested in joining our efforts to advance Open Science across Brazil, we invite you to become part of our Open Science Working Group. If your institution would like to pilot the adapted Road2Openness tool and serve as a case study, please sign up at our website.

The Science Integrity Alliance has recently become an official signatory of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA), joining a growing collective of organizations and individuals committed to improving how research outputs are evaluated.
This move reinforces the Alliance's dedication to fostering transparency and accountability in scientific research while contributing to the broader, global effort to reform research assessment practices.

We are excited to announce our sponsorship of the 8th World Conference on Research Integrity, taking place from June 2 to 5 in Athens, Greece. This prestigious event fosters the exchange of information and discussion about responsible conduct in research. It caters to all disciplinary fields, professional ranks, and career stages, involving stakeholders such as universities, research institutes, funders, publishers, and governments. For more information, check out the conference website.

The Science Integrity Alliance has been invited to participate in the upcoming 1st Satellite Meeting of Research Integrity Networks, organized by the Netherlands Research Integrity Network (NRIN) and the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). This event will provide a unique opportunity for representatives from national and regional research integrity networks to share insights, discuss challenges, and develop actions to strengthen cooperation. We look forward to supporting these networks in achieving their goals. Watch out for updates from the meeting on our channels.

Our social media platforms are now live, offering a space for lively discussions, sharing breakthroughs, and connecting with fellow advocates for science integrity. Follow us, share your thoughts, and become part of our growing network dedicated to fostering transparency and reliability in research. Join the conversation and help us spread the word about the importance of integrity in scientific endeavors.

The Alliance is actively expanding its collaborator and partner base, bringing in varied perspectives and expertise to strengthen our mission for global scientific integrity. Our collaborative aim is to foster a research environment that's more open, inclusive, and principled. If our mission resonates with you, we encourage your organization to reach out and explore partnership opportunities with us in our commitment to scientific integrity.
