SUMMARY:The NWU Integrated Research Integrity Management System (IRIMS): concepts\, structures\, processes\, and procedures
DESCRIPTION:At the NWU\, the Integrated Research Integrity Management 
 System (IRIMS) has\, since 2022\, guided all managers and researchers 
 (academics and postgraduate students)  in the Faculties to ensure 
 Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR). The session provides an overview of 
 important concepts that ground both research ethics and research integrity 
 within the NWU IRIMS system\, as well as NWU IRIMS’s structures\, 
 processes\, and procedures. The greater scientific community of an 
 institution can only innovate and flourish when its members function 
 together as a body that fosters a climate of Responsible Conduct of 
 Research and ensures confidence and trust in its research practices and 
 findings by providing clear guidelines for managing potential breaches in 
 research integrity through transparent processes. The value and benefits of 
 the mentioned research are vitally dependent on the research ethics 
 practices applied during the conduct of research\, as well as the integrity 
 of the research practices followed at the institution. Research ethics is 
 seen as a subset of research integrity\, but is often confused with it.  
 Active adherence to ethical principles\, norms\, and standards\, along with 
 defined professional responsibilities\, is essential for Responsible 
 Conduct of Research (RCR). Active adherence in this context means adopting 
 these principles\, norms\, and standards\, and treating them as personal 
 credo in all research practices\, rather than simply accepting them as 
 impositions by rule-makers. Adhering to these research integrity practices 
 allows the university to be at the cutting edge of research\, both 
 nationally and internationally.\n
