Arguing that there never was a time when politicians did not
prevaricate and when some communities did not doubt conclusions
that others considered to be facts, The Measurement of Information
Integrity puts the post-truth era in context and offers measures
for integrity in the modern world. Incorporating international
examples from a range of disciplines, this book provides the reader
with tools that will help them to evaluate public statements -
especially ones involving the sciences and scholarship. It also
provides intellectual tools to those who must assess potential
violations of public or academic integrity. Many of these tools
involve measurement mechanisms, ways of putting cases into context,
and a recognition that few cases are simple black-and-white
violations. Demonstrating that a binary approach to judging
research integrity fails to recognize the complexity of the
environment, Seadle highlights that even flawed discoveries may
still contain value. Finally, the book reminds its reader that
research integrity takes different forms in different disciplines
and that each one needs separate consideration, even if the general
principles remain the same for all. The Measurement of Information
Integrity will help those who want to do research well, as well as
those who must ascertain whether results have failed to meet the
standards of the community. It will be of particular interest to
researchers and students engaged in the study of library and
information science.
