Research quality and integrity

We were an early adopter of the Concordat to Support Research Integrity and we adhere to the principles and practices set out in that document.

We expect that all staff and students engaged in research conduct their activities in line with the UUK Concordat, including any visitors who make use of, or are supported by, the University and/or its facilities.

Our policies and procedures

All those engaged in research are expected to adhere to the following:

• Conflict of Interest and Commitment (HRPS35)
• Ethics (APS21)
• Research Ethics Policy Framework Statement
• Openness (GPS1)
• Freedom of Information (GPS5)
• Data Protection (GPS4)
• Sustainability (APS5)
• Equal Opportunities (HRPS8)
• The Code of Practice for Research – Principles and Procedures
• Privacy Notice for Research Participants
• The Management of Confidential Information: Code of Practice and Procedures
• The Financial Regulations
• The Information Paper on Ethical Management of Knowledge Transfer Activities (intranet login required) should also be consulted by all involved in contract research and other knowledge transfer engagement.

Staff and students should also make full use of the Middlesex Online Research Ethics (MORE) system prior to the commencement of any research or knowledge transfer work.

Report on research integrity

Our Annual statement on research integrity shows how we've been supporting research integrity over the past academic year.
