Responsible conduct in research has gained increased importance with the recent increase in research activity. This chapter aims to highlight the following several facets of research misconduct: (1) defining what constitutes research misbehaviors; (2) the differences in the prevalence of misbehaviors in various regions of the world; (3) the reasons that lead investigators to commit research misconduct; and (4) the type of measures that can be instituted to enhance the responsible conduct in research. In regards to the latter, a recommendation will be made for developing training programs that focus on preventing research misconduct.
