This study in two parts investigates research ethics and integrity among university students in Botswana, focusing on selected higher education institutions. Using a survey-based design and purposive sampling, the research assesses students' awareness, comprehension, compliance, and challenges regarding research ethics and integrity. Findings reveal a significant gap between knowledge and practice, indicating a need for training and support, supervision issues, ethical clearance challenges, resource limitations, and educational concerns. This first part depicts the review of literature and methodology; second part details the results and recommendations.
