The College of Physical Sciences (COLPHYS), recently organised a Research Ethics Step-Down Workshop aimed at strengthening ethical standards in research conduct and academic publications.
The workshop featured notable Resource Persons, including Prof. Isaiah Adejumobi, representing the University Research Ethics Committee (UREC), alongside Prof. Amidu Mustapha and Prof. Caroline Akinremi.
During the workshop, participants were enlightened on the importance of adhering strictly to institutional regulations and ethical guidelines in the conduct of research. The speakers stressed the need for researchers to “do things right” in line with approved ethical standards and community expectations within the University system.
The Resource Persons also highlighted essential guidelines for ethical research practices, while drawing attention to the consequences associated with unethical conduct in research and publication processes.
Participants were encouraged to ensure that the lessons learnt from the workshop positively influence future research activities and publications. The facilitators further emphasised the need for ethical research culture to cascade to undergraduate and postgraduate students, thereby promoting integrity and excellence in research conduct and output.
