Research Integrity e-learning Programme
Staff and students at Newcastle University can access free online training in research integrity.
The online programme is developed by Epigeum, their research integrity training is beneficial because it provides a consistent, portable, and internationally recognised standard of training that can facilitate collaboration, career development, and interdisciplinary research. There are three options within the Research Integrity collection:
Research Integrity
The primary course Research Integrity provides a comprehensive overview of how researchers can meet their responsibilities, setting out the key principles and practices of responsible research practice and guiding learners through the lifecycle of a research project. It is broken down into eight core modules and six supplementary modules.
Research Integrity: Refresher
Research Integrity: Refresher is designed for researchers who have completed research integrity training in the past. It will help you to check your knowledge of your responsibilities and to stay up to date with changes to relevant policies and guidelines. It also provides an overview of current and emerging topics relating to research integrity. We recommend completing refresher training every 2-3 years.
Research Integrity for Experienced Researchers
Research Integrity for Experienced Researchers is designed for senior and established researchers, principal investigators, and research leaders who want to strengthen integrity across every stage of the research lifecycle.
The programme offers practical, real-world guidance across three core themes: leadership and research culture, research design and planning, and global, ethical collaboration. The programme is broken into short, focused courses, enabling flexible learning that fits around busy schedules. Participants can tailor their learning experience to reflect their role, responsibilities, and professional priorities.
