Development of a Research Integrity and Ethics Framework in a Higher Education Institution: Five Years On

Abstract

In recent years there has been increased recognition of the importance of high standards in ethics, governance and the integrity of research. This paper is a case study of the University of Bristol's approach to address these important activities in a Higher Education Institution. It will highlight the importance of working closely with the academic research community to ensure maximum engagement, leading to a sustained culture change that recognizes faculty and departmental specific needs.

A key tool to ensuring high standards of research integrity and compliance with the legislative framework is the development of a supportive quality assurance programme.
