Dear Asmuni Asmuni,
Integrity is when a person is in contact with all parts of his personality, not alienating either of them. He hears them all. And gives each of its part the right to vote. Every quality in the human personality has its own polarity.

What is integrity?
Integrity is the quality of a person that can achieve coherence between talk the walk and walk the talk.
As human beings, we value all kinds of virtue. Notably, integrity is one of the areas of excellence which we all admire because it is a benchmark signalling our greatness. In point of fact, integrity is related to our ability of affecting those around us positively. As Martin Luther King, Jr once stated, acting with integrity simply means that " Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” On every side, there is conclusive evidence that the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles - that is, integrity, is a distinctive parameter separating man from other animals.
I am sending you the abstract of my paper "On (scientific) integrity: conceptual clarification". I hope it helps.
Abstract:
The notion of “integrity” is currently quite common and broadly recognized as complex, mostly due to its recurring and diverse application in various distinct domains such as the physical, psychic or moral, the personal or professional, that of the human being or of the totality of beings. Nevertheless, its adjectivation imprints a specific meaning, as happens in the case of “scientific integrity”. This concept has been defined mostly by via negativa, by pointing out what goes against integrity, that is, through the identification of its infringements, which has also not facilitated the elaboration of an overarching and consensual code of scientific integrity.
In this context, it is deemed necessary to clarify the notion of “integrity”, first etymologically, recovering the original meaning of the term, and then in a specifically conceptual way, through the identification of the various meanings with which the term can be legitimately used, particularly in the domain of scientific research and innovation. These two steps are fundamental and indispensable for a forthcoming attempt at systematizing the requirements of “scientific integrity”.
