New ORI Annual Report Has Data-But No Details

By Theresa Defino

In fiscal year (FY) 2023, the HHS Office of Research Integrity (ORI) received 353 allegations of research misconduct, defined as fabrication, falsification or plagiarism—an increase of 73% from FY 2020—the first year ORI resumed issuing an annual report after an eight-year break.[1]

Analysis is also challenging because ORI itself offers none for any information in the graphics-heavy report that spans 12 pages, of which just six include data (see chart below).
