Fostering Research Integrity through Institutional Policies: The Case of a Selected Institution of Higher Education

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Truth, trust and integrity are essential to research at higher education institutions. These institutions have accordingly adopted several policies to foster research integrity. This article explores the likelihood that relevant policies at a selected institution of higher education foster research integrity. The qualitative, single exploratory case study commences with a review of scholarly literature and results in a conceptual model used for a directed \n \n content analysis of relevant institutional policies. The findings indicate that \nthese policies do complement each other in fostering research integrity. \nFurther research will be necessary to establish whether policies indeed \ncontribute to responsible researcher conduct.
