No university or research institution is immune to research misconduct or the more widespread problem of questionable research practices. To strengthen integrity in research, universities worldwide have developed education in research integrity. However, little is known about education in research integrity for PhD students in European research-intensive universities. We conducted a content analysis of didactic materials of 11 of the 23 members of the League of European Research Universities (LERU) to map out the content, format, frequency, duration, timing, and compulsory status of their training programmes and the characteristics of instructors of the onsite courses. Quantitative results revealed substantial variation in educational materials among the studied institutions. This variation might be because European research universities are free to design curricula without any requirements from the European, national, or institutional public funding channels. Given the challenges inherent to modern science and preventing misconduct, research institutions should empower future generations of researchers to engage in responsible research practices. To promote integrity in research among PhD students, we provide a set of recommendations for university-wide education in research integrity for doctoral trainees based on our investigation of educational resources.

没有任何大学或研究机构能够免于研究不端行为或更普遍的可疑研究实践问题。为了加强科研诚信，世界各地的大学都开展了科研诚信教育。然而，对欧洲研究型大学博士生的研究诚信教育知之甚少。我们对欧洲研究型大学联盟 (LERU) 的 23 个成员中的 11 个成员的教学材料进行了内容分析，以绘制出其培训计划的内容、形式、频率、持续时间、时间安排和强制性状态以及教师的特征的现场课程。定量结果显示所研究机构之间的教育材料存在很大差异。这种差异可能是因为欧洲研究型大学可以自由设计课程，而无需来自欧洲、国家或机构公共资金渠道的任何要求。鉴于现代科学和防止不当行为所固有的挑战，研究机构应授权后代研究人员从事负责任的研究实践。为了促进博士生的研究诚信，我们根据我们对教育资源的调查，为博士生的研究诚信教育提供了一系列建议。研究机构应授权后代研究人员从事负责任的研究实践。为了促进博士生的研究诚信，我们根据我们对教育资源的调查，为博士生的研究诚信教育提供了一系列建议。研究机构应授权后代研究人员从事负责任的研究实践。为促进博士生的科研诚信，我们根据对教育资源的调查，为博士生的科研诚信教育提供了一系列建议。
