Better Research Practices Rarely Stay with One Team. A clearer protocol, a shared dataset, a checklist someone actually uses: each one ripples out to the next collaborator, the next lab, the next field.

The Research Integrity in Practice Library (RIPL) brings together solutions you can use at no cost, drawn from the SIA Partner Network and the wider research integrity community worldwide. Solutions come in four kinds, color-coded to match the cards below.

Before you use a solution

We list these to help you find options worth considering, not to endorse them. Some solutions are free outright, and others offer a free tier. A free tier may limit features or usage, so check that a solution suits your needs and confirm its current availability, terms, and any licensing requirements with the provider.​
