The university’s code to ensure all research across our campuses in the UK, China and Malaysia is carried out to the highest standards of integrity, rigour and excellence has been reviewed and updated for 2023.

As part of the university’s commitment to The Concordat to Support Research Integrity and Research Ethics Principles, the University Research Integrity and Research Ethics Committee (URIEC) has published the updated Code, v9 March 2023.

This comes as part of the annual review of the Code of Research Conduct and Research Ethics (the Code).

The latest version of the Code is available on the Research Ethics and Integrity SharePoint pages.

In addition to updating the template, contact details and broken links, and minor typos there were several helpful changes throughout.  We have published a summary of these changes which can also be found on the Research Ethics and Integrity SharePoint pages.

We would also like to highlight that in line with the university’s Policy Management Framework, the Code now utilises the university’s template for Codes of Practice.
