“…Many of these problems have been echoed in past research, such as the precariousness of research careers (16), the vulnerability of researchers' well-being (e.g., 17,18), and the perceived lack of institutional support for researchers (19). Beyond disrupting the collegiality between researchers, these issues also appear to influence the perceptions that researchers hold of their institutions (9).…”

“…Our findings suggest that research careers are precarious, highly competitive, and that they can impact the wellbeing of researchers. Young researchers in particular often lack the resources, guidance, and support they need to flourish or simply to migrate smoothly to careers outside academia (also see [ 57 – 59 ]). Adequate support for researchers, including through an attentive consideration of their well-being and struggles, should be an immediate priority within research institutions.…”

Background Research misconduct and questionable research practices have been the subject of increasing attention in the past few years. But despite the rich body of research available, few empirical works also include the perspectives of non-researcher stakeholders. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews and focus groups with policy makers, funders, institution leaders, editors or publishers, research integrity office members, research integrity community members, laboratory technicians, researchers, research students, and former-researchers who changed career to inquire on the topics of success, integrity, and responsibilities in science. We used the Flemish biomedical landscape as a baseline to be able to grasp the views of interacting and complementary actors in a system setting. Results Given the breadth of our results, we divided our findings in a two-paper series with the current paper focusing on the problems that affect the integrity and research culture. We first found that different actors have different perspectives on the problems that affect the integrity and culture of research. Problems were either linked to personalities and attitudes, or to the climates in which researchers operate. Elements that were described as essential for success (in the associate paper) were often thought to accentuate the problems of research climates by disrupting research culture and research integrity. Even though all participants agreed that current research climates need to be addressed, participants generally did not feel responsible nor capable of initiating change. Instead, respondents revealed a circle of blame and mistrust between actor groups. Conclusions Our findings resonate with recent debates, and extrapolate a few action points which might help advance the discussion. First, the research integrity debate must revisit and tackle the way in which researchers are assessed. Second, approaches to promote better science need to address the impact that research climates have on research integrity and research culture rather than to capitalize on individual researchers’ compliance. Finally, inter-actor dialogues and shared decision making must be given priority to ensure that the perspectives of the full research system are captured. Understanding the relations and interdependency between these perspectives is key to be able to address the problems of science. Study registration https://osf.io/33v3m

“…Thompson & Strickland (1989) mentions the weaknesses is limitation in source, skills, capabilities that seriously impedes effective performance. Institutional support deals with an operational of system which includes the information of technology, measurement of policy, human resources and vision Heffernan (2019) & Jung (2011 Based on the previous study that was conducted by the researcher regarding the perceptions and challenges using the e-learning platform. However, not many researchers identify about the lecturers' perceptions in the context of writing, reading, literature and pedagogy course through e-learning.…”
