Research Integrity Proceeding Respondent Defense

Being told that you have a research integrity concern against you can be a massive blow to your research career. Ensuring you have strong representation is a must during every step of the process.
Authorship Agreements – Drafting & Negotiation

Before beginning a project – it is often a great idea to have an authorship agreement put in place before significant work is done and published. This can help alleviate many problems a PI or researcher faces in the future, in particular providing a strong pragmatic defense against allegations of plagiarism.
