Earn your Certificate in Image Integrity Assessment!
Awareness of inappropriate text adoption and plagiarism is widespread - even beyond academia. In contrast, the fact that images can also lead to integrity problems in certain disciplines is less well known. Images play a predominant role for many fields in society, but images are often edited, beautified, or manipulated. This course raises awareness of how images are manipulated, it introduces the properties of digital images, and discusses concrete strategies and resources available to analyze the integrity of images.

Fields of Interest:
“I want to deepen the understanding of whether academics follow established guidelines when creating or manipulating images. I am interested in what tools are available to measure and prove manipulation after the fact, and I am exploring what steps the academic community can take to promote and maintain research integrity in relation to work with images.”
