Research Integrity

Research Integrity refers to the adherence to ethical principles and professional standards essential for conducting research responsibly and ensuring its credibility. These principles ensure that research is trustworthy, accurate, and conducted in a way that respects the rights and dignity of all those involved. While these standards are well-established in scientific research, their application in art and design research is sometimes inconsistent, leading to issues such as unethical practices or excessive protectionism.

In this section, we will explore the core values that define research integrity—such as rigor, ethics, and diversity—and examine how these values can be interpreted and applied effectively in the context of art and design research.
