Principles of Research Ethics
The CEO – Ms Dymphena Dias (Programme) and Mr. K. Satose (Human Resource and Administration), are responsible for ensuring that the organisation’s environment promotes and nurtures a commitment to research integrity and that suitable processes are in place to deal with misconduct and for ensuring that the correct steps are taken to remedy any situations arising out of an investigation.
The organisation follows the following principles of good research practice:
Our research is based on the shared values of rigour and honesty.
We advocate a research environment that supports research with the highest standards of rigour and honesty.
Our research confirms all ethical, legal and professional obligations.
We use transparent, reliable and fair procedures to report misconduct.
We will continue to monitor and improve the suitability and appropriateness of existing mechanisms when necessary to ensure the integrity of research.
The organisation has a sound mechanism to deal with reports of misconduct and has established a clear ethical approval process for personnel. Through our researcher development program, all academic staff and researchers can obtain research integrity and ethics training.
