Research ethics
XJTLU is fully committed to the advancement of high-quality academic research and to carrying out its research within a comprehensive ethical framework. Researchers (all staff and students of XJTLU engaged in research as well as visitors, collaborators, or agents who undertake research in the name of, or at, XJTLU) should take ultimate responsibility for the overall ethical conduct of their research. They should ensure research that requires ethical review must not commence until the XJTLU ethical approval letter and all other required approval/specific licence/qualification from relevant authorities have been obtained.
As stipulated by the XJTLU Policy on Ethical Conduct in Research, research that involves human subjects (including participants, survey respondents, genetic resources, or personal data) or animals will always require formal ethical consideration. To ensure compliance, researchers must adhere to a comprehensive set of guidelines that promote the welfare and protection of all involved entities, thereby upholding the credibility and trustworthiness of the research process. The XJTLU Policy on Ethical Conduct in Research can be found in the University Intranet.
