The UK Committee for Research Integrity commissioned Exotopic to create a series of case studies in October 2023. Case studies show a range of examples of good practice across the research integrity principles. We were delighted to work with colleagues across the sector to showcase the activities that they are proud of in their integrity-related endeavours.
We also welcome the submission of case studies for future publication, and guidelines for this can be found in our case study guidance (pdf).
You can read the published case studies below.
