Research Ethics at RJ4All

RESEARCH ETHICS AT RJ4ALL

As an international institute, RJ4All is committed to carrying out research and producing only high quality publications that conform to internationally accepted research rules and ethics. We have a publishing house, RJ4All Publications, that is a world class publisher in social and policy sciences and supported by several editorial boards. 

When conducting fieldwork research, especially when this involves vulnerable individuals, we always undergo a Research Ethics approval. To this end, we have a standing Research Ethics Committee, which reviews our research ethics applications. The Committee follows The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity. This also serves as a framework for self-regulation across all scientific and scholarly disciplines and for all research settings within RJ4All and its projects. We also follow the UK's Economic and Research Council's guidance, and abide by GDPR and UK data legislation.
