Research Integrity: an online introduction course (online self-paced) BeginnersOnlineNew
This course seeks to provide you with an overview of the principles, responsibilities and importance of research integrity. We will cover what research misconduct looks like, how it can be avoided and reported, and where you can find help for maintaining and promoting integrity in your research work.
The course consists of two parts. The first part is the learning section, and will take approximately 30-40 minutes to complete. The second part is a 10 minute quiz to test your knowledge. Please ensure you complete both parts in order to complete the course.
There are three versions to account for disciplinary variation:
- Biological Sciences and Clinical Medicine
- Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
- Technology and Physical Sciences
Although designed primarily for postgraduate research students, this module provides basic information relevant to staff at all career stages, including postdoctoral researchers, research assistants and technicans. It is open to all research staff and students.
