Join us for an insightful presentation on research protection and ethical collaboration. American universities lead the way in cutting-edge research, but when this research is exploited by individuals with nefarious intentions, it can have serious consequences—tarnishing reputations, leading to funding losses, lab closures, and legal issues.

This session, presented by the FBI, will focus on: Steps to secure intellectual property and research materials and proper practices for collaborating with international universities.

DATE: March 6, 2025

TIME: 12:00 pm

PRESENTER: Nathan Livesey, FBI-WMD Coordinator

Location: G100 BRC (IN-PERSON ONLY)

The narrow federal definition of Research Misconduct–Fabrication/Falsification/Plagiarism–does not account for all sorts of other bad practices, including unprofessional conduct, which can include but is not limited to harassment, bullying, etc. This presentation will include how professional misconduct is defined, how these behaviors impact research integrity, how to prevent and report misconduct in all forms, and the potential outcomes.

Presenter: Robin Tyndall, Director of the Office of Research Compliance

Thursday, October 13, 2022—Avoiding Plagiarism in Funded Research

Typically, plagiarism comes up in institutions of higher education as it relates to undergraduate course work – purchasing final papers from online sources, students copying from each other, failing to paraphrase sources or cite them properly, etc. However, even well-intentioned researchers make some common mistakes with their funded projects that can be classified as plagiarism, which puts their grants and Clemson’s reputation at risk. In this session, I will go over these common mistakes and the real-world consequences they can carry, and give researchers strategies to stay safe and avoid accusations of plagiarism.

Presenter – Megan Sheffield, Data Services Librarian

Wednesday, September 14, 2022– How to avoid having to ask the question “Why was I not given authorship?” or, Structuring and communicating pre-defined requirements for student authorship on scientific publications: One example from an undergraduate neuroscience research laboratory.

How do we ensure that we give scientific “credit where credit is due”? Publication remains the “currency” of an academic career. But the criteria for authorship remain varied and the norms are still being debated. Many guidelines for authorship specify that persons who make “substantial” intellectual contributions, of various sorts, should be authors. But the primary issue today is to define the term “substantial contribution” and how to qualify it, quantify it, and communicate it effectively – ideally even before experiments begin. There are no easy solutions to this challenge. However, today’s talk will describe how one research laboratory operationalized authorship requirements, with some success, in the context of a structured program of undergraduate student mentoring.

This session is HYBRID. We encourage you to attend in person, at 413 Cooper Library. Bring your lunch and cookies will be provided. 

Presenter – Dr. G. Andrew Mickley is professor emeritus and founding chair of the Neuroscience Program and professor emeritus in the Department of Psychology at Baldwin Wallace University (BWU). He is currently a Visiting Professor in the Psychology Department at Wofford College

Target audience – Faculty, staff, postdocs, and students
