Education is important for fostering research integrity (RI). Although RI training is increasingly provided, there is little knowledge on how research stakeholders view institutional RI education and training policies. Following a constructivist approach, we present insights about research stakeholders’ views and experiences regarding how research institutions can develop and implement RI education and training policies. We conducted thirty focus groups, engaging 147 participants in eight European countries. Using a mixed deductive-inductive thematic analysis, we identified five themes: (1) RI education should be available to all; (2) education and training approaches and goals should be tailored; (3) motivating trainees is essential; (4) both formal and informal educational formats are necessary; and (5) institutions should take into account various individual, institutional, and system-of-science factors when implementing RI education. Our findings suggest that institutions should make RI education attractive for all and tailor training to disciplinary-specific contexts.

科研诚信教育和培训政策：焦点小组研究的见解

教育对于促进研究诚信 (RI) 很重要。尽管越来越多地提供 RI 培训，但对于研究利益相关者如何看待机构 RI 教育和培训政策知之甚少。遵循建构主义方法，我们就研究机构如何制定和实施 RI 教育和培训政策提出研究利益相关者的观点和经验的见解。我们开展了 30 个焦点小组，吸引了来自 8 个欧洲国家的 147 名参与者。使用混合演绎-归纳主题分析，我们确定了五个主题：（1）RI 教育应该向所有人提供；(2) 教育和培训的方法和目标应有针对性；(3) 激励学员至关重要；(4) 正式和非正式的教育形式都是必要的；(5) 机构在实施 RI 教育时应考虑各种个人、机构和科学系统因素。我们的研究结果表明，机构应该使 RI 教育对所有人都有吸引力，并根据特定学科的背景定制培训。
