Research integrity can be defined as the coherent and consistent adherence to a set of principles underpinning the excellence and impact of our research at RMIT.

Research integrity means that research is trustworthy, and is honestly, ethically and responsibly conducted, described and reported. Supporting research integrity at RMIT enhances the excellence of our research and our ability to generate impact.

RMIT recognises the principles of responsible research conduct as established in the Australian Code for Responsible Conduct of Research 2018 (the Code):

1. Honesty in the development, undertaking and reporting of research
2. Rigour in the development, undertaking and reporting of research
3. Transparency in declaring interests and reporting research methodology, data and findings
4. Fairness in the treatment of others
5. Respect for research participants, the wider community, animals and the environment
6. Recognition and value of the diversity, heritage, knowledge, cultural property and connection to land of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their right to be engaged in research
7. Accountability for the development, undertaking and reporting of research
8. Promotion of responsible conduct of research and fostering of a culture of research integrity.
