Research Integrity for postgraduate students: exploring case-studies and best practice (Live Online using MS Teams)

BeginnersPrerequisitesNew

Researchers are often faced with dilemmas and questions which put their integrity at risk. In these situations, how do you decide what is important for you and how to stay close to your values while protecting your integrity and respecting the relevant professional codes of conduct? Our self-taught online research integrity module introduces the basic research integrity concepts.

This workshop facilitates further discussion of the case studies introduced in the moodle course and explores the questions and challenges researchers face in their research practice. We will share hints, tips, and resources and encourage participants to reflect on and share best practice and their experiences.

This workshop is aimed at postgraduate research students. It is also open to research staff, including technicans, research assistants and postdoctoral researchers.

The Research Integrity: an introduction (online self-paced) module should be completed prior to attending this live in-person follow up workshop.

Number of sessions: 1

Research Integrity; Good Research Practice; Research Misconduct;

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Summarise the core principles and practices of research integrity;
• Distinguish between research integrity, research misconduct, and questionable research practices;
• Develop an awareness of the variety of factors that influence research behaviour and your own responsibilities related to these factors;
• Relate the researcher responsibilities set out in the UUK Concordat to support Research Integrity in specific research integrity cases;
• Discuss and defend alternative courses of action regarding research integrity issues that occur in the conduct of research;
• Evaluate what good research practice means in the context of your own work

breakout rooms; discussion and case studies

This interactive nature of this workshop requires attendees to actively participate in small group discussions via Teams. As such, you may wish to consider attending one of the in-person workshops (sign up here) rather than Teams if this is not feasible.
