Research Culture Uncovered

In this episode, host Dr. Emily Goodall speaks with Steph Neave, CEO of the UK Research Integrity Office (UKRIO), about the link between research integrity and research culture.

Here are the key takeaways:

🔑 Understanding Research Integrity:

Research integrity goes far beyond procedures, it ensures research is honest, transparent, accountable, rigorous, and conducted with care, principles that should be embedded at every phase of the research cycle.

🔑 Addressing Research Misconduct:

UKRIO is working towards standardised reporting procedures and investigator training to address misconduct and improve accountability.

🔑 Positive Research Culture:

Creating a supportive, transparent environment encourages early reporting of concerns and reduces stigma around misconduct investigations.
