Looking for an expert in matters of research integrity, including authorship ethics, plagiarism, deception, or other matters of research misconduct?  Have concerns about conflict of interest, bias, or abuse of power in research?  

I am the former Chief Executive of a national European research integrity agency, and also a former REC Chair.  I have experience across industry, academia, hospitals, research institutes, and government, as well as journal publishing as an Associate Editor.

I am available for consultation services, with hourly rates for non-profit and for-profit organisations.

Contact me at: txbioethics@yahoo.com to explore your needs and my services.

Check out my webinar for Elsevier on the topic of publishing quality and the COVID-19 pandemic.
