MyAV范 Statement on Research Integrity
MyAV范 considers high standards of research integrity across all of its activities to be of the utmost importance. The MyAV范 Statement on Research Integrity听reflects this by clearly setting out the standards expected by all those involved with research at or in collaboration with MyAV范, including adherence to the Code of Conduct for Research and the principles of integrity set out in the MyAV范 statement on research integrity.
The Statement was first published in May 2015, and was revised in 2020 to incorprate changes from the 2019 Concordat, as well as the advancements made within MyAV范 with regards to supporting researchers and a culture of research integrity since the Statement was originally听published.听 听听

- Code of Conduct for Research
It is the view of MyAV范 that everyone involved with research has a joint responsibility for ensuring high standards of integrity throughout the research process, from the creation of methodology and data collection through to publication and authorship.
This is echoed in MyAV范's procedure for investigating and resolving allegations of misconduct in academic research which also sets out clearly accepted procedures for research as well as the definition of research misconduct (pages 22-24).
Annual Reporting
In line with the recommendations set out in the concordat, an annual report on activities relating to research integrity across MyAV范 will be produced for its governing body, the MyAV范 Council. These reports will be published here after consideration by Council.
