Ethics in Research at the University of Hull

The aim of the University of Hull Research Ethics Policy is to establish and promote good ethical practice in the conduct of academic research.

The University wishes to encourage a quality research culture, where excellence is promoted and key elements such as effective leadership, openness, accountability and honesty, are maintained and enhanced.

The University also has a duty of care toward members of its community and toward members of the general community where the University's activities impact upon them.

As an academic community, The University of Hull has a responsibility to encourage the highest possible standards of care, consideration and integrity within all research. Research integrity extends to accountability for the ethical basis of all aspects of research; for the protection of both the participants and the researchers; for the probity of the financial management of the project; for the reliability of results; and for making every best effort to provide value for public or private funds invested in research projects.
