"The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) promotes integrity in biomedical and behavioral research supported by the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) at about 4,000 institutions worldwide. ORI monitors institutional investigations of research misconduct and facilitates the responsible conduct of research (RCR) through educational, preventive, and regulatory activities." — Office of Research Integrity.Read more about this topic: Data Sharing

This precious stone set in the silver sea,
Which serves it in the office of a wall,

Against the envy of less happier lands,
This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”
