Ethics in research

UiB complies with the Vancouver requirements and endorsed the National Committees for Research Ethics’ ethical guidelines in 2000 (DAK-sak 49/00). In addition, UiB adheres to the ethical guidelines for the civil service and UiB's own ethical guidelines for staff and students at the institution.

In 2007, the standing committee on scientific misconduct took the initiative to develop its own ethical web pages (norwegian only) for which it has editorial responsibility.
