The subject of scientific integrity has generated a lot of attention in recent decades, both in the media—which is all too happy to report on the latest fraud or plagiarism scandal—and in the boardrooms of the scientific insti-tutions that have to respond to it. In the meantime, scientific research has continued, but researchers have become more attuned to the fact that scien-tific integrity is something they need to pay attention to in their laboratories and research institutes. Then came the question as to whether we should add courses in scientific ethics and integrity to university curricula, which are already full as it is. New courses for students and novice researchers have been established in recent years, creating a demand for teaching material on scientific integrity. But can integrity be learned? Or is it more a matter of gaining experience, following good examples and having outstanding scientific researchers as role models? This is one of the questions that will be addressed in this study.This book is not designed to serve as a curriculum for prospective stu-dents or novice researchers. Although I know there is a need for this, I do not feel called to address all the possible ethical cases, dilemmas and temp-tations inherent to scientific research and explain how young researchers should respond to each one. Moreover, there are already plenty of good tex-tbooks available on this topic (Macrima 2005; Comstock 2013; On Being a Scientist 2012). It is true that dilemmas can arise in the application of rules, especially when rules are not clearly formulated. However, I believe that the standards of scientific research are already clear enough: always present re-search results truthfully and never copy the work of others without properly referencing the source. These basic standards are not that difficult. How to uphold these standards is something that one learns from experience and from the good example of teachers, supervisors and experienced researchers. These veterans in the field are responsible for passing on their experience and scientific attitude to their students, colleagues and successors.
