Research integrity in the UK: the need to avoid complacency

In Times Higher Education, Michael Farthing, Vice-Chair of UKRIO, discusses the recent history of UK approaches to research integrity, the work of UKRIO and how the research community must avoid complacency on these issues, both now and in the future.

Times Higher Education: Keep It Real

The article is one of several on research integrity in this week’s THE, following the launch of the Concordat to Support Research Integrity. UKRIO sees the Concordat as an important step in the journey towards improving research integrity and enhancing the UK’s world-class reputation for conducting exceptional and innovative research. We look forward to exploring with researchers, employers, funders and regulators how the Concordat might be implemented for the public benefit and how it might complement wider efforts to sustain research integrity in the UK.
