SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Researchers facing ethical gray areas—such as removing outliers, handling authorship disputes, reusing code, or responding to sponsor pressure—often lack a structured way to assess what is permissible. This Skill identifies integrity risks, blocks unsafe actions like data fabrication or anomaly hiding, and redirects toward transparent, defensible research practices. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Integrity Risk Assessment: Classifies situations by risk level (Low/Medium/High/Stop and escalate) and applies a structured ethical dilemma protocol covering stakeholders, obligations, and consequences. - Conditional Guidance: Provides targeted protocols for cherry-picking and anomaly removal, authorship and contribution disputes, plagiarism and code reuse, and sponsor or funding pressure. - Bilingual Korean/English Advising: Detects user language and responds accordingly while preserving technical terms, citations, and notation in original form. - Use Case: A graduate student is pressured to delete anomalous sensor readings that weaken a paper's conclusion. The Skill stops the deletion, requires an anomaly log and sensitivity analysis, and recommends transparent reporting and advisor consultation. ## Quick Start Ask the advisor to evaluate your ethical dilemma by describing the situation, stakeholders, data involved, and any deadline or sponsor pressure, and request the risks and defensible next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions about research-ethics-integrity-advisor

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I handle anomalous data points in research ethically?▼

Anomalous data should not be deleted or hidden without a pre-defined exclusion criterion or documented technical rationale. The Skill requires an anomaly log, sensitivity analysis, and transparent reporting so the decision survives external scrutiny.

What should I do about an authorship dispute on a research paper?▼

Authorship disputes are handled by separating intellectual contribution, data contribution, code contribution, supervision, funding, and routine assistance. The Skill recommends documenting contributions and discussing them with the PI or advisor under institutional and journal policy.

Can this Skill help with plagiarism or code reuse questions?▼

Yes, it addresses plagiarism, self-plagiarism, patchwriting, and open-source code attribution. It requires proper citation, license compliance, and clear separation of original contributions from reused work, and it refuses to help evade plagiarism detection.

Does the research ethics advisor support Korean language users?▼

Yes, it detects whether the user writes in Korean or English and responds in that language. Technical identifiers, equations, units, and citations are preserved in their original form regardless of response language.

When should I not use a research ethics advisor skill?▼

Do not use it for ordinary methodology review when no integrity risk is central, or to bypass academic, institutional, or research-integrity requirements. It also refuses any request to fabricate data, sources, credentials, or results.
