Faculty, staff and student of the University
community engaging in research should adhere to the highest
standard of ethics and Research Integrity. This is to ensure
that the reputation of the University for scholarly integrity
is preserved.
Research Integrity includes the rigour, care
and accountability that are the hallmarks of good scholarship
and is not merely the avoidance of wrongdoing. Research Misconduct
by the University community, defined as fabrication, falsification,
plagiarism or other wrongdoing in proposing, designing, performing,
recording, supervising or reviewing research, or in reporting
research results is unacceptable and is grounds for disciplinary
action. |
