Details

This is the revised UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) governance of good research practice policy replacing the Research Councils UK policy on the governance of good research conduct.

The policy aims to set out UKRI expectations to organisations. To have in place policies and activities that support a positive environment within which all individuals involved in the research process can discuss, adopt and develop good research practice.

This guidance should be read alongside the UKRI policy on the governance of good research practice. This will support organisations to have fair, transparent and robust policies and procedures in place to enable them to respond to and address incidents of research misconduct.
