Good Research and Innovation Practices (GRIP)
The GRIP Policy is in three main sections, complemented by a collection of case studies:
|
This explains the principles governing all the University’s research and innovation (R&I) activities, the purpose of the Policy, its value and whom it applies to. |
|
|
This clarifies the University’s expectations concerning good practices in research (R) and/or in innovation (I) activities. |
|
|
Good R&I practices case studies provided by Sheffield academics. |
|
|
This contains information on what the University means by unacceptable R&I practices (sometimes referred to as research misconduct, questionable practices, or the use of unfair means), provides additional detailed information on good R&I practices, lists the University’s policies that this Policy complements, and lists the sources which have been consulted in developing the Policy. |
All three main sections have the authority of University of Sheffield policy.
For the sake of brevity the Policy on Good Research and Innovation Practices is referred to as the GRIP Policy, the University of Sheffield as the University and research and innovation as R&I.
