NTU Policy on Research Integrity and the Responsible Conduct of Research

The University Cabinet has recently approved the NTU Policy on Research Integrity and the Responsible Conduct of Research. All those undertaking research in NTU, at whatever level, whether undergraduate or postgraduate students, research staff or faculty should make themselves fully aware of the policy and the procedures which will take place when an allegation of misconduct is received.

In particular, attention is drawn to the need to subscribe to the values set out in this policy, to abide by all the norms of good research practice and ethical behaviour and commitment to conduct research with care, rigour, honesty and respect for all and everything involved and which are the marks of good scholarship.

This covers the obligations to maintain full and accurate records of research and their storage in NTU, both in hard copy and as electronic records; to ensure that all those concerned or quoted are given appropriate credit and recognition; to respect all matters relating to privacy; and to comply fully with all relevant laws and codes of ethical behaviour appertaining to research.
