The Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) program (a joint program between the University of California San Diego and Jordan University of Science and Technology; JUST) provided a one-day face-to-face workshop in Research Misconduct in collaboration with the Faculty of Graduate Studies at JUST. The workshop was conducted on April 22nd at Salah Al-Deen hall at JUST.

The workshop was presented by Dr. Nour Al-Sawalha, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Pharmacy and fellow at RCR program. The workshop aimed at deepening understanding of research misconduct and questionable research practices, including; types, causes, consequences, handling and reporting, real cases and possible preventative remedies. Further, the workshop assisted the graduate students to become familiar with the consequences of research misconduct and real examples of cases in the scientific community. In addition, proper research practices were addressed to avoid research misconduct and questionable research practices.  The participants appreciated the provided information and they requested to conduct such useful workshops more frequently.

At the end of the workshop, Prof. Karem Alzoubi (The director of the RCR program in Jordan, and the Dean of Faculty of Pharmacy) distributed the certificates to the participants.
