Analysis of sustainable development goals in university foundational documents
Purpose Higher education institutions play a pivotal role in addressing global challenges and cultivating responsible, sustainable practices among future leaders and professionals. However, some institutions emphasize actions without fully integrating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their foundational documents. This study aims to actively examine the extent to which universities in both developed and developing count…
Aligning the principles and practice of research integrity and research fairness in global health
INTRODUCTION: In the past decade, global health research has seen a growing emphasis on research integrity and fairness. The concept of research integrity emerged in response to the reproducibility crisis in science during the late 2000s. Research fairness initiatives aim to enhance ownership and inclusivity in research involving partners with varying powers, decision-making roles and resource capacities, ultimately prioritising local health rese…
Lessons from the Ebola epidemics and their applications for Covid‐19 pandemic response in sub‐Saharan Africa
COVID‐19, caused by a novel coronavirus named SARS‐CoV‐2, was identified in December 2019, in Wuhan, China. It was first confirmed in sub‐Saharan Africa in Nigeria on 27 February 2020 and has since spread quickly to all sub‐Saharan African countries, causing more than 111,309 confirmed cases and 2,498 deaths as of 03 June 2020. The lessons learned during the recent Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreaks in some sub‐Saharan African countries were exp…
Recommendations for promoting international multi‐site clinical trials—from a viewpoint of ethics review
The early 21st century has seen a growing trend to perform large-scale clinical trials, in general, and across national borders, in particular.11 Atal, I., Trinquart, L., Porcher, R., Ravaud, P. (2015). Differential globalization of industry- and non-industry-sponsored clinical trials. PLoS One. 10(12), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0145122. ,22 Viergever, R.F., Li, K. (2015).

Taking the bull by the horns
Involving Research Stakeholders in Developing Policy on Sharing Public Health Research Data in Kenya
Increased global sharing of public health research data has potential to advance scientific progress but may present challenges to the interests of research stakeholders, particularly in low-to-middle income countries. Policies for data sharing should be responsive to public views, but there is little evidence of the systematic study of these from low-income countries. This qualitative study explored views on fair data-sharing processes among 60 …
Promoting Research Integrity in A frica
A frican researchers and their collaborators have been making significant contributions to useful research findings and discoveries in A frica. Despite evidence of scientific misconduct even in heavily regulated research environments, there is little documented information that supports prevalence of research misconduct in A frica. Available literature on research misconduct has focused on the developed world, where credible research integrity sy…
Engaging Communities to Strengthen Research Ethics in Low‐Income Settings
There is wide agreement that community engagement is important for many research types and settings, often including interaction with ‘representatives’ of communities. There is relatively little published experience of community engagement in international research settings, with available information focusing on Community Advisory Boards or Groups ( CAB / CAGs ), or variants of these, where CAB / G members often advise researchers on behalf of t…
