Abstract

We propose to develop, pilot, and evaluate an open educational resource (OER), entitled Research Publishing Handbook: Guide and Best Practices for Graduate Research Scholarship, focused on research and publishing integrity and ethics for Iowa State University graduate students and early career researchers. This OER handbook will have widespread adoption across many academic disciplines. Readers will benefit from better knowledge of (1) how to establish and protect their professional credibility, (2) how to publish and report results with integrity, and (3) how to prepare and complete electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) that meets institutional, federal, and state guidelines.
