RECENTLY RELEASED PUBLICATIONS |
The latest version of the
Australian Code of Conduct for Responsible Research
was recently released by NHMRC. The Code has broad relevance
across all research disciplines. It replaces the Joint
NHMRC/AVCC Statement and Guidelines on Research Practice (1997).
The Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research
guides institutions and researchers in responsible research
practices and promotes integrity in research for researchers.
The Code shows how to manage breaches of the Code and allegations
of research misconduct, how to manage research data and materials,
how to publish and disseminate research findings, including
proper attribution of authorship, how to conduct effective
peer review and how to manage conflicts of interest. It also
explains the responsibilities and rights of researchers if
they witness research misconduct.
NATIONAL STATEMENT ON ETHICAL CONDUCT IN HUMAN RESEARCH
Following comprehensive revision and extensive public consultation,
the revised National
Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research 2007 was
tabled in both houses of Parliament on 28 March 2007.
This document is now the current constituting document for
NHMRC registered Human Research Ethics Committees. A
summary
of the changes to the National Statement is available
from the NHMRC website.
