Valuing our Research
Valuing our Research
Here, three sub-themes are described:
Valuing the Research Process - recognises the importance of embedding clear and fair approaches for the way in which research is conducted, supported, recognised and rewarded.
Research Integrity - speaks to the conduct of rigorous and ethical research, essential to the production of high-quality research, and hence research excellence.
Open research - speaks to the importance of research visibility, impact and reach.
The roadmap has been created by the community for the needs of the community. If you wish to provide feedback on this page and the content please do so here.
