About Research Integrity
Research is central to the mission of the University, to the advancement of knowledge, and to the social well-being, health and the economic development of society.
The University, funding agencies and other public and private sponsors of research and related activities recognize that research can best flourish in a climate of academic freedom, a climate premised on trust in, and the integrity of, members of the University research communities and their compliance with the policies, practices and ethical norms governing research.
Thus, the University is committed to the promotion of research integrity and the ongoing education of the members of its community in matters of research integrity. The Research Integrity Officer and the Deputy Research Integrity Officers are responsible for the promotion of research integrity at McGill and are available for consultations regarding the conduct of research and/or allegations related to research misconduct.
