• Forgery: Using non-existent or falsified data in scientific research,

• Distortion: Falsifying research records or data obtained, showing devices or materials not used in the research as if they were used, falsifying or shaping the results of the research in line with the interests of the persons and organisations receiving support,

• Repeat publication: Presenting duplicate publications as separate publications in academic appointments and promotions,

• Slicing: Dividing the results of a research into parts in a way that disrupts the integrity of the research and inappropriately and publishing them in more than one number and presenting these publications as separate publications in academic appointments and promotions,

• Unfair authorship: Including people who have not made active contributions among the authors or not including people who have made active contributions, changing the order of authors in an unjustified and inappropriate manner, removing the names of those who have made active contributions from the work in subsequent editions, using his/her influence to have his/her name included among the authors even though he/she has not made active contributions,

Research Management Plan And Involving Vulnerable Groups

Confidentiality: The confidentiality and privacy of participants from vulnerable groups must be carefully protected. Participants’ personal data must be treated confidentially and used only in the context of the research.

Duty to report: Researchers are obliged to report any suspicion of abuse, exploitation or neglect to the competent authorities. This reporting is essential to ensure the safety and welfare of participants.

Ethics committee approvals: For research involving vulnerable groups, you must obtain the necessary approvals from ethics review committees. These approvals ensure that the research meets ethical standards and protects the rights of participants.

Scientific Quality: The scientific quality of research conducted with vulnerable groups must be in accordance with the standards of the Helsinki Declaration, ICH, and the Human Rights and Biomedicine Convention. This means that the research must be well-designed, the research protocol must be properly implemented, and the methods for compiling and analyzing the data must be valid.

Social Benefit: The fundamental criterion is that the interests of the volunteers who participate in the research should take precedence over the social and scientific benefits. It is expected that research conducted with vulnerable groups will provide social benefits.

Short Bibliography
Aida Bendo is an Associate Professor at Department of Health and Movement, Sports University of Tirana, where she established the Biomechanics laboratory. She was admitted to Special Physics Section in 2006 to the Faculty of Natural Science, University of Tirana, where she is graduated in 2008 as physicist. Since then, she has worked as a lecturer of Biomechanics in Sports University of Tirana. The teaching modules has helped her in a better knowledge and understanding the practical importance for the analysis of human movement. She has obtained a PhD in the Faculty of Engineering Mathematics and Engineering Physics in Polytechnic University of Tirana in 2015. Her doctoral thesis is related to the effect of proprioception training in biomechanical parameters in different sport teams, which is the first of its kind in the field of biomechanics that was performed in Albania. The study presents practical interest, because a real importance is given to the role of movements or physical activity in function of human movements. She is the author of many papers in international referred journals and conference contributions.
Teaching modules:
Physics, Applied Physics, Biomechanics, Statistics, Scientific Research in Applied Biomechanics

Research interest
Her research interest is focused in two areas: sport and clinical biomechanics including special populations. The goals related to these topics are: improving technique and performance as well as injury prevention. Aida’s current research, except the teaching, has been and continues to be the improvement of equilibrium in difficult situations during training and competitive process in terms of biomechanical variables, for sportive performance achievements at a high level, for the achievements of specific purposes by demonstrating high rational technique. A special research issue presents the ability to separate positive and negative mechanical elements from the style and technique, which can explain how to better improve the movement’s performance in physical activity and sports. The importance of applied biomechanics in sport medicine research is to identify forces which can cause physical, muscular and bone trauma, in prevention of injuries, caused by frequent repetitions. Applied biomechanics research can influence performance improvement or reduction and rehabilitation of injuries.
