Publication Credit
During the publication process, collaborators must address publication credit early on to determine who will be listed as authors on the research and the specific order of those authors. To maintain scholarly integrity, authorship must accurately reflect the importance of each individual's actual contribution to the research.

To maintain scholarly integrity, the APA Ethics Code outlines obligations that include strict prohibitions against data fabrication and _____.
A psychology researcher conducts an experiment on memory but finds that some data points do not support their hypothesis. Reasoning that the scientific goal is to discover how the world actually is and that these points are anomalous noise, they omit them from the final paper without disclosure. According to the APA Ethics Code's standards for scholarly integrity, this action is a violation of their ethical duties.
To maintain scholarly integrity during the publication process, researchers must evaluate and apply specific standards under the APA Ethics Code. Match each ethical obligation with the scenario that best represents a violation of that standard.
According to the APA Ethics Code, a researcher's obligation to maintain scholarly integrity during the publication process includes accurate assignment of authorship credit and strict prohibitions against which of the following practices?

In the context of scholarly integrity, what is the primary scientific goal that obligates researchers to report their results honestly and accurately?
Which of the following scenarios best illustrates a researcher upholding scholarly integrity as defined by the APA Ethics Code?
Dr. Lin conducts an experiment on memory consolidation but struggles to recruit enough participants. Believing strongly that her theory is correct, she invents scores for ten non-existent participants and adds them to her final dataset to ensure her paper is accepted for publication. According to the APA Ethics Code's standards for scholarly integrity, which specific prohibition has Dr. Lin violated, and what is the primary reason this action is unethical?
Dr. Smith submits a manuscript on social conformity. In the paper's introduction, Dr. Smith incorporates a theoretical background section copied verbatim from another scientist's published work without providing any citation. Furthermore, Dr. Smith lists themselves as the sole author, placing a graduate student—who designed the study, performed all statistical analyses, and wrote the results section—only in the acknowledgments. Based on the APA Ethics Code's principles of scholarly integrity, how should these actions be analyzed?
An institutional review committee is evaluating a recent publication by a psychology researcher. The committee discovers that the researcher intentionally omitted a significant portion of the collected data because those specific responses contradicted their preferred hypothesis. In their defense, the researcher argues that the omitted data was 'noisy' and that removing it was necessary to present a clear, compelling narrative to the scientific community. Based on the APA Ethics Code's standards for scholarly integrity, which of the following is the most accurate evaluation of the researcher's defense?

According to Standard 8.07 of the APA Ethics Code, psychologists are prohibited from using deception in research that is reasonably expected to cause which of the following?
Standard 8 of the APA Ethics Code establishes essential guidelines for scholarly integrity in research and publication. Match each ethical standard with the description that best summarizes its core requirement.
A researcher discovers a significant statistical error in their published data that fundamentally changes the study's conclusions. According to Standard 8 (Research and Publication) of the APA Ethics Code, the researcher must prioritize _____ by taking reasonable steps to publicly correct the record through a retraction or erratum, even if doing so damages their professional reputation.
A psychology professor is preparing an empirical journal article based on a research study. A student assistant spent 40 hours performing routine data entry and formatting the references for the manuscript, but did not contribute to the study's conceptual design, data analysis, or writing. Under Standard 8 of the APA Ethics Code, the professor is ethically required to list this student as a co-author on the publication.
Liam, an undergraduate assistant, designs a novel cognitive experiment, conducts all testing, performs the statistical analyses, and writes the first draft of the manuscript. His advisor, Dr. Aris, provides editorial feedback and funds the study. When publishing the paper, Dr. Aris lists herself as the first author and Liam as the second author, justifying this because of her status as the lab director and grant holder. Under Standard 8 (Research and Publication), this authorship structure is an ethical violation because academic status or funding cannot be used to bypass the accurate assignment of _____.
