    In a world where the public demands transparency surrounding research funds, where an ever-increasing number of documents are searchable electronically, and where global consortia collaborate on large-scale projects, research integrity and ethics have an enhanced and formalised role.  It is more important than ever that researchers are aware of their rights and responsibilities in terms of publications, student supervision, management of grants, conflicts of interest, retaining research records, storage and sharing of data, etc.
