Research Integrity is a fundamental aspect of scientific progress. However, many investigations have revealed that research misconduct seems to be more widespread than previously thought. While research and technologies appear to improve upon this situation, research integrity officers lack expertise and awareness of them and computational researchers do not have venues to present work developing them. This gap exists because of inexistent venues for training research integrity officers and inexistent conferences for encouraging interactions between computational researchers, research integrity officers, and investigators. Our research integrity conference proposal aims at fixing both issues. First, it proposes a new, globally-accessible, and massive virtual workshop on computational research integrity techniques where the latest advances and practices will be taught and discussed. Second, it will continue the highly-successful conference Computational Research Integrity (CRI-CONF) as an in-person meeting to happen in Washington, DC during the first week of April 2022. The workshop and conference will consolidate Computational Research Integrity as a new viable field to strengthen and support research integrity investigations. It will also provide a venue to signal that this is a legitimate area to which young research can dedicate their life.
