Existing research integrity (RI) guideline development methods are limited in including various perspectives. While co-creation methods could help to address this, there is little information available to researchers and practitioners on how, why and when to use co-creation for developing RI guidelines, nor what the outcomes of co-creation methods are. In this paper, we aim to address this gap. First, we discuss co-creation methods can be used for RI guideline development, based on our experience of developing RI guidelines. We elaborate on steps including preparation of the aims and design; participant sensitization; organizing and facilitating workshops; and analyzing data and translating them into guidelines. Secondly, we present the resulting RI guidelines, to show the outcome of co-creation methods are. Thirdly, we reflect on and researchers might want to use co-creation methods for developing RI guidelines. We discuss that stakeholder engagement and inclusion of diverse perspectives are key strengths of co-creation methods. We also reflect that co-creation methods have the potential to make guidelines implementable if followed by additional steps such as revision working groups. We conclude that co-creation methods are a valuable approach to creating new RI guidelines when used together with additional methods.
现有的研究诚信（RI）准则制定方法在纳入各种观点方面存在局限性。虽然共同创造方法可以帮助解决这个问题，但对于研究人员和实践者来说，关于如何、为什么以及何时使用共同创造来制定 RI 准则，以及共同创造方法的结果是什么，几乎没有信息。在本文中，我们旨在解决这一差距。首先，我们根据我们制定 RI 准则的经验，讨论了共同创造方法如何用于 RI 准则的制定。我们详细介绍了包括准备目标和设计、参与者敏感化、组织和促进研讨会以及分析数据并将其转化为准则在内的步骤。其次，我们展示了由此产生的 RI 准则，以展示共同创造方法的结果。第三，我们反思了研究人员可能希望使用共同创造方法来制定 RI 准则的原因。我们认为利益相关者的参与和纳入不同的观点是共同创造方法的关键优势。我们还反思了共同创造方法如果遵循其他步骤，例如修订工作组，有潜力使准则具有可操作性。我们的结论是，共同创造方法是一种有价值的方法，可以在与其他方法一起使用时创建新的 RI 准则。
