Responsible conduct of research … through comics! 

This project started from the desire to raise awareness among research stakeholders at UQAM about the foundations of integrity and responsible conduct of research (RCR).

It is intended as a fun and engaging way to demystify both good practices and breaches of research integrity. The comics you’ll find on this site will – we hope – raise smiles and raise questions, and consequently, spark an interest in deepening your knowledge of RCR.
