Research Integrity

By Research Integrity we intend the body of principles and ethical values, deontological obligations and professional standards that form the basis of the responsible and correct conduct of those who carry out, finance or evaluate scientific research, as well as the institutions that promote and perform it. The application of principles and values, and the respect for deontology and professional ethics and standards guarantee the quality of the research and enhance the reputation and public image of science, greatly contributing to its advancements and to progress in society.
