led by Professor Jo Edson Ferrie
The course draws on recent work around research integrity, notably from the Economic and Social Research Council but also from experts working in the forefront of the field. As well as explaining what we mean by research integrity, we will explore why it is important by thinking about the consequences where integrity standards are not met. By assessing what ‘bad’ research looks like, we can reach an acceptance of what ‘good’ research looks like. In this session we will explore this threshold of ‘good’ research as an ‘industry standard’ but also consider personal standpoint and disciplinary traditions. No prior learning is needed. The session will be lecture-based with opportunities to reflect on our individual views about the themes addressed.
