The University has a responsibility and is committed to ensuring that the research conducted by its staff and students maintains the highest possible standards of integrity. The Research Code of Conduct provides guidelines on the standards of work performance and ethical conduct expected of all persons engaged in research at the University.

Failure to comply with the research code may constitute research misconduct. A Code of Practice for the Investigation of Research Misconduct has recently been approved by the University Senate and Council and should be followed for any allegations of potential misconduct.
