Code of Practice on Research Integrity


This Edinburgh Napier University Code of Practice on Research Integrity​ defines and details the research principles and practices to which all students and staff at the University are required to adhere. The Code underpins the University’s commitment to promoting high standards of ethical practice by all those undertaking research.

Any Code of Practice on Research Integrity must be meaningful and relevant to researchers and be accepted by them. To this end, the Code of Practice is supported by a number of research guidance notes that help support researchers in turning the guiding principles within this document into practice that underpins the research carried out by the University.

We encourage both our staff and students to be ethically aware, self-reflective researchers who take responsibility for embedding the principles within this code into their day-to-day research practices.
