Research Integrity
High-quality research relies on the professional way in which our researchers conduct themselves and their research endeavours.
The University expects all researchers associated with our institution to abide by the basic principles of Honesty, Rigour, Transparency, Fairness, Respect, Recognition, Accountability and Promotion as outlined in theÌýÌý(the 'Code').
Researchers are required to:
