Positive research culture is underpinned by a dedication to uphold the highest standards of research integrity, ethics, and practice.

King’s champions transparent and reproducible research methodologies, ensuring that all researchers receive the necessary training and support to conduct ethical and rigorous investigations.

Through the provision of cutting-edge research facilities, professional support services (see Research Strategy pillar 2, Providing the best environment and systems to deliver world-leading research), and a commitment to open science, we are developing a culture where good research practices are ingrained in our institutional ethos.
