Research integrity is something of a new buzzword in the academic community. Essentially it stands for rigorous and ethical research. It is though an incredibly useful framework for helping new researchers think through what ‘good’ research looks like and how they can hit these standards during their PhD research work. Further, we will consider how we can convince others (PhD examiners, journal article reviewers, supervisors) that our work is robust.
Research integrity covers the entirety of the research process, from coming up with the research idea to dissemination and impact. This session will introduce students to the ideas behind research integrity. The session will be divided into two parts a) what is good research? and b) what is bad research. By the end of the session students should have a strong sense of how they will approach key decisions relating to their research and also will have started preparing a ‘defence’ of their work.
