Research integrity and ethics
Stockholm University protects the quality, integrity and independence of research, and this requires research to be carried out in accordance with good research practice.
Research integrity and ethics issues can arise in all areas of research, not the least when it comes to publication and handling of research materials, but to some kinds of research specific rules apply, for instance research on humans and personal data and animal experiments. Ethical considerations may also arise in research collaborations, and research funders may have specific ethics requirements.
