Scientific Integrity Matters
“How research is conducted matters.”
How research is conducted matters. It influences how the scientific and public world make decisions about maternal and fetal health. Yet oftentimes, the biased or misleading research makes it into the public sphere without meaningful correction.
Medical professionals and the public should be informed by accurate, objective research, and transparent methodology, rather than research designed or interpreted to promote an agenda.
This is why Integrity in Research exists: to restore integrity in scientific research so we can have honest, scientific discussions and help medical professionals by giving them the tools they need to evaluate research and inform how they run their practice.
Read closely. Think critically.
