Research integrity
We are a member of the UK Research Integrity Office (UKRIO). We recognise our responsibility to researchers and the wider community to ensure the highest standards of integrity and professionalism are observed in the conduct of research and supports the commitments under the Universities UK Concordat to Support Research Integrity.
As a member of the UK Research Integrity Office (UKRIO), our staff and students must maintain the highest professional standards as they conduct their research. UCLan has put policies and procedures in place to cover and protect the quality of research, from its initial conception, through to publication and other forms of dissemination into society.
