What is the difference, if any, between Integrity and Scientific Integrity?

I think a good example would be Werner von Braun. His work obviously had enormous scientific integrity, because otherwise how was he so successful in sending men to the moon? However, as for personal integrity, he was aware of concentration camp slave labor at Peenemunde, and indeed admitted to personally picking slaves. Whether this was something he really could have done something about remains controversial, but the point is, he was a former Nazi and yet American rocketry is indebted to his scientific work. And another example would be Werner Heisenburg, a Nazi who worked to develop a German atom bomb, but his work in quantum physics was impeccable.

Ad hominum attacks are worthless for determining scientific truth. Discrediting the scientist for his particular lack of personal integrity doesn't necessarily debunk his scientific work.

I would venture that integrity (without a qualifier) usually refers to an aspect of a person's character -- not changing your story or your stated principles to suit the audience of the moment or the spirit of the time. I would go so far as to say that it involves both how faithfully you stick to those principles, as well as how consistent and 'fair and reasonable' those principles are.

Scientific integrity, I think, is narrower, though not wholly separate from personal integrity. It refers to strict adherence to the tenets of proper scientific inquiry -- mainly, not shunning; and even seeking out, any observations that can cast doubt on your own work, as well as on the work of others. As applied to a practitioner of science, this is really a consequence of one's general integrity, and a reflection of it. As applied to a work of science, it speaks to how well it can withstand the scrutiny of scientific review. I think Einstein put it well when he wrote, in a letter to Max Born,

"Of all the communities available to us there is not one I would want to devote myself to, except for the society of the true searchers, which has very few living members at any time. . ."

Any practitioner of science who sticks to that philosophy will necessarily exhibit a high degree of scientific integrity. It boils down to being wedded to getting at the truth, even at the expense of your own pet theories.

integrity is is searching for the truth, wherever it may be, and not compromising your principles unless additional data requires changing your mind. in other words, think for yourself, and let nobody do it for you.

scientific integrity is the same. when faced with contrary data, the data must be accepted, if proven accurate. the theory must be altered to incorporate the contrary data. the contrary data must not be ignored just because it does not fit the theory.

"Scientific Integrity" has to do with the integrity of science. "Integrity" is a more general term and can apply to things that are scientific as well as things that are not.

That would be the difference.
