We were commissioned by the UK Committee on Research Integrity to support the development of a report focusing on potential indicators of research integrity for use by UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This project, led by the Committee, builds on builds on previous work started by Research Consulting, Cancer Research UK (CRUK), GuildHE and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) which found that indicators, when used responsibly, may be useful.
Our role in this work focused on supporting the Committee in summarising the outputs from an extensive consultation process that involved workshops with diverse stakeholders across the UK research community. We thematically analysed the workshop findings and reported on these against five key domains: leadership, strategy, procedures, practices and skills.
Overall, the project conducted by the Committee identifies 16 potential indicators that can be used to understand the status and trajectory of the conditions that support research integrity that are available to view in the final report.
As ever, we really enjoyed working with Andrea and Rob. They always give us confidence that the work will be delivered on time and to high standards. It was great to also work with Lucia for the first time. She has been excellent – really responsive to our requests. Thank you very much!Claire Henderson, UK CORI
