The committee is working with and as part of the UK’s research system to define the future structures required to support research integrity and to produce a roadmap for how this could be achieved.
Our vision is that the UK’s research system continues to be known for its research integrity, which:
- is central to all work and actions of all individuals, groups, and organisations in research
- enhances and protects the quality of research
- safeguards confidence in research
Collaboration is at the heart of the UK Committee on Research Integrity. We are working with and as part of the UK’s research system to define the future structures required to support research integrity and to produce a roadmap for how this could be achieved.
We invite and encourage views from the research community.
Objectives
The committee:
- provides strategic leadership for research integrity to maintain and support high integrity in all research environments and across all disciplines
- convenes and catalyses the research system, liaising with stakeholders, nationally and internationally, to increase discussion about how best to support and assure high research integrity
- is designing a blueprint for a future research integrity landscape that supports a research system with embedded and demonstrable integrity
- builds and collates high quality evidence on the state of research integrity in the UK to underpin improvements to integrity
- uses evidence to identify opportunities across the research system to improve research integrity and makes evidence-based recommendations to the research sector about how to strengthen current practice
- provides strategic input into policies, processes and guidance, including relating to regulation and assurance in the UK
- works with the Research Integrity Concordat Signatories group to operationalise the Concordat to Support Research Integrity.
