title: Promoting scientific integrity in nursing research, Part II: Strategies.
abstract: In part II of this two-part series reporting on a survey of doctorate-granting schools of nursing on scientific integrity, the authors deal with publication and authorship practices, promotion/tenure policies, and suggested strategies to promote scientific integrity at institutional and broader levels, and the role of various agents in this regard. The findings suggest the importance of the role of senior faculty in socializing and serving as role models for junior colleagues and doctoral students. Professional journals and professional organizations were similarly seen to have a role in standard setting. At the institutional level, educational/facilitative functions, as well as leadership and monitoring activities, were highlighted. The essay presents recommendations for promoting scientific integrity in a proactive manner rather than focusing on procedures for dealing with misconduct.
