Responsible Conduct of Research Policy and Procedure

Overview:

This Policy formally adopts the principles embodied in the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research 2018 [the Code] https://www.nhmrc.gov.au/about-us/publications/australian-code-responsible-conduct-research-2018 and should be read in conjunction with the Code. This Policy is predicated on the principle that researchers associated with the University are committed to high standards of professional conduct, and that they will ensure their work enhances the good name of the University and the profession to which they belong. Like the Code it adopts, the Policy simply formalises principles that naturally flow from such a commitment to excellence.
