Home / FAQs / Academic Research / Research at the University / Research Integrity Concordat

At the University of Sunderland in London, we're committed to making sure our researchers know and understand what's expected of them.

We comply with the formal agreement or 'concordat' about standards and integrity in UK research.

It sets out that all our research will be done the highest standards of rigour and integrity to assure the UK government, the wider public and the international community of the quality and ethics of our research.

Under the concordat, we have five commitments:

To maintain the highest standards of rigour and integrity in all aspects of research
To ensure that research is conducted according to appropriate ethical, legal, and professional frameworks, obligations and standards
To support a research environment that is underpinned by a culture of integrity and based on good governance, best practice and support for the development of researchers
To use transparent, robust and fair processes to deal with allegations of research misconduct should they arise
To work together to strengthen the integrity of research and to review progress regularly and openly
