    AbstractThough scientific knowledge is presumed to be true, misconduct in generation and reporting of research has occurred. Causes of scientific misconduct may be personal, such as excessive ambition, or organizational, such as withholding negative results about a product for economic gain. Ethical conduct of science involves respect for persons, beneficence and justice throughout the research process. The bottom line is researchers must have the integrity to be truthful themselves and the courage to report disreputable practices. Nurses must conduct scientific endeavors and practice the science of nursing with integrity. Maintaining integrity is essential for the advancement of nursing as a science, and therefore, ongoing improvement in nursing care.
