- Publication Platform: Verlässliche Wissenschaft, University of Coburg.
This paper examines research integrity in north-south collaborations, highlighting benefits like capacity building and global standards. It addresses struggles such as power imbalances, “parachute” research, and funding dependencies. Northern institutions often dominate agenda-setting, data analysis, and authorship, despite existing frameworks. The author calls for transformative changes: legally binding treaties, capacity strengthening, and inclusive collaboration. These aim to foster equitable, ethical partnerships aligned with SDG 17, emphasizing mutual respect and shared benefits to uphold global research integrity.

Forschungsintegrität im internationalen Kontext: Errungenschaften, Kämpfe und Debatten bei der Nord-Süd-Zusammenarbeit in der Forschung
- Author: Simson Mwale
- Publication Year: 2021
- Publication Platform: Verlässliche Wissenschaft, University of Coburg.
Dieser Artikel untersucht die Forschungsintegrität in Nord-Süd-Zusammenarbeit, unterstreicht Vorteile wie Kapazitätsaufbau und globale Standards und beleuchtet Herausforderungen wie Machtungleichgewichte, „Fallschirmforschung“ und Finanzierungsabhängigkeiten. Nordische Einrichtungen dominieren oft die Forschungsagenda, Datenanalyse und Authorship, obwohl es Rahmen wie den EU-Kodex für Forschungsintegrität gibt. Der Autor fordert transformative Maßnahmen: rechtsverbindliche Verträge, Kapazitätsstärkung und inklusive Kooperation. Ziel ist gerechte, ethische Partnerschaften, die an das 17. UN-Ziel für nachhaltige Entwicklung angelehnt sind, mit Fokus auf gegenseitigen Respekt und gemeinsame Nutzen zur Wahrung globaler Forschungsintegrität.
