To undergraduate students engaged in research activities

The advancement in scientific research is attributed to the accumulation of achievements of many predecessors and relies on trust among researchers. Research misconduct (fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, etc.) jeopardizes the trust and public trust in science and hinders its advancement. Research funds are essential for research activities. Misconduct in handling research funds is naturally not tolerated for any kind of research activity, whether funded by the government or the private sector.
Such research misconduct will damage not only the researchers themselves but also the university, which will lose public trust; and the university’s research institute will be seriously questioned. Unfortunately, there have been instances of research misconduct at the university in recent years, making it urgent to create an organizational climate that does not cause or tolerate such behavior.
Please read the documents below to familiarize yourself with the code of conduct for research integrity and be sufficiently careful to avoid unintentionally being involved in research misconduct.
