Objectives

UKRIO is an independent charity, offering support to the public, researchers, and organisations to further good practice in research. Created in response to longstanding and growing concerns about the reliability of research, UKRIO is the UK’s most experienced research integrity organisation. Since 2006, we have provided independent and expert support to help enhance good research practice, address mistakes, questionable practices and fraud, and improve the culture and systems of UK research. Currently 110 universities and research organisations subscribe to UKRIO, including most of those within the Russell Group.

Activities

UKRIO pursues our aims through a multifaceted approach:

  • Education– guidance and support through publications on research practice, training activities and a comprehensive events programme.
     
  • Sharing best practice – clear and honest development for the research community through facilitated discussions about key issues, informing national and international initiatives, and working to improve research culture.
     
  • Expert guidance– confidential and expert guidance, as a proactive service for both institutions and individual researchers, as well as in response to requests for assistance.
