Research practice

Research at the University of Leeds is conducted according to the principles of academic excellence, community, integrity, inclusiveness and professionalism.

These principles encourage you to consider the wider consequences of your research, and engage with the practical, ethical and intellectual challenges inherent in high-quality research.

Academic integrity for PGRs

Academic Integrity reflects a commitment to good study practices and shared values. It ensures your work is a true expression of your personal understanding and original ideas, while giving credit to others for their contributions. 

Data management plans

A data management plan describes how you will collect, organise, analyse, preserve, and share data.

E-thesis

All PGRs are required to upload their final, examined thesis to our e-theses repository, White Rose E-theses Online (WREO), as a single PDF file. 

Ethics review process

To manage and support research ethics, the University undertakes a structured and rigorous ethics review process.

ORCID

An ORCID ID is a digital identifier that distinguishes you from every other researcher.
