Responsible Conduct of Research
- The University is obligated to protect and foster the academic freedom and intellectual integrity of all members of the University community in the pursuit of knowledge.
- The University is accountable to extramural funding sources that often support the research and scholarship of the faculty and the university must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
- Each researcher has ultimate responsibility for the accuracy and validity of their own work. Each researcher shares this responsibility with colleagues and students with whom they establish collaborative or mentorship relationships.
--Guidelines for the Responsible Conduct of Research, USF Research Council (October 1997)
