Essential things you need to know Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research All researchers including students must adhere (covers principals and practices of responsible research; data management; supervision; publishing; authorship; peer review; research misconduct) Student Charter (student responsibilities) Rule 10: Degree of Doctor by Research and Rule 11: Degree of Master by Research (covers enrolment; candidacy; progress; thesis submission/examination; terminations & appeals) Essential Facilities for HDR Students (details in next slides) Applying for Candidacy Ethics approval – human research or animals. Apply after Candidacy approval, before data collection.

Essential things you need to know cont’d Research Integrity Training - All HDR students must complete this (on Blackboard) before Candidacy submission. More on following slides. Curtin’s Research Management Policy: 2.1.1. … A strong research culture will demonstrate: (a) honesty and integrity; (b) respect for human research participants, animals and the environment; (c) good stewardship of public resources used to conduct research; (d) appropriate acknowledgment of the role of others in research; and (e) responsible communication of research results. 2.1.2. Responsible research is demonstrated through the adoption of Curtin’s Guiding Principles, Values and Signature Behaviours and the Curtin University Code of Conduct. Curtin Values – Integrity, Respect, Courage, Excellence, Impact

Management of Research Data See next presentation - Research Data Management by the Library Curtin Research Data and Primary Materials Policy – covers collection; storage; ownership; access; data sharing; retention periods; confidentiality; destruction. ORD - Data Management website The Library: Research Data Management Planning Tool – to help you create a data management plan. Your supervisor can then request R:drive storage on your behalf Research Data Management LibGuide Retention and disposal of data should be in line with WA State government Disposal Authorities and Curtin’s Records and Information Management guidelines.

Intellectual Property As a general rule the University does not claim ownership of Intellectual Property created by Students BUT there are several exceptions and all supervisors and students should consult the Ownership of Intellectual Property Policy, http://policies.curtin.edu.au/findapolicy/ (under “I” for IP) or contact the IP & Commercialisation team

Conflicts of Interest Conflict of interest or duality of interest? See section 7 of the Australian Code of Conduct …. You have an interest in the research because you stand to benefit or lose from it (prestige, qualifications, employment…) You have a duality of interest if you have an interest because of different roles you play, or might play e.g. researcher and owner of a company that might use the intellectual property. Sometimes the obligations you have in each role conflict. Declare your interests. Declare early. Discuss with your thesis committee.

Authorship Section 5 of ‘The Code’: When you have finished your candidacy you should have some form of authorship agreement Authorship Section 5 of ‘The Code’: Attribution of authorship depends to some extent on the discipline, but in all cases, authorship must be based on substantial contributions in a combination of: conception and design of the project analysis and interpretation of research data drafting significant parts of the work or critically revising it so as to contribute to the interpretation. Curtin Policy & Procedures: Authorship, Peer Review and Publication of Research Findings Information Regarding Authorship and Joint Authorship for HDR Students and Their Supervisors

Plagiarism and Academic Integrity Principles of academic integrity align with Curtin’s core values (integrity, respect, courage, excellence and impact). “Plagiarism is a form of fraud and intellectual theft, and is a serious breach of academic integrity. It means presenting the work or property of another person as one's own without appropriate acknowledgment or referencing.” (Sourced from the Information for Students at http://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/ ) See Academic Integrity at Curtin: Student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism and the Student Checklist to Prevent Plagiarism http://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/global/studentbook.cfm See also Management of Plagiarism Policy and Procedures

Research Integrity Training & Turnitin Research Integrity training - Developed by Epigeum in collaboration with Australian Universities Compulsory for all researchers - HDR students and staff HDR students complete BEFORE candidacy submitted. Found on Blackboard, login via Student OASIS (pic next slide) It contains links for ‘Originality Checking’, i.e., Turnitin – text matching software – to assist students avoid plagiarism Use the Turnitin links to check candidacy proposal and thesis chapters See Research Integrity website and What is Turnitin Turnitin is a text matching software and identifies where common clusters of words match. – So it picks up the copy and paste… and assistance by Dr Google or Prof Wiki… AND If individuals try to get around this You still have much to learn. Speaking like Yoda is still plagiarism!!!!
