The University's Research Integrity Policy adopts the revised Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2018) (the Code) in full.
The policy applies to all researchers at Flinders, including:
- all staff;
- all academic status holders; and
- all students enrolled in a higher degree by research course (HDR students).
The Policy applies in respect of Flinders University-related research activities, including the supervision of higher degree research student activities. It does not apply to coursework students, who are instead within the scope of the Student Academic Integrity Policy.
The principles and the researcher responsibilities of the Code have been reproduced in table format as a Schedule to the policy, with a list of relevant University policies and practices that apply to each principle and each responsibility. This enables the Research Integrity Policy to serve as a single, definitive, binding point of reference for research integrity at Flinders University.
