The research community of the Universitat Jaume I has, since this week, a Code of Good Practice in Research and Doctoral Studies, as well as a renewed Research Ethics and Integrity Committee (CEI). These two research management structures will cover the principles and ethical commitments of the institution and the research staff and are aligned with the European Seal of Excellence in Human Resources for Research (HRS4R). Moreover, these structures are inspired by the principles established by the UJI in its Code of Ethics, the European Code of Conduct for Integrity in Research (2017), and the Code of Conduct for the Recruitment of Researchers established in the European Charter for Researchers (2006).

The new structure, promoted by the Vice-Rector's Office for Research in collaboration with the European project ETHNA System, is the result of a long process of reflection and debate in which the research community has participated. The process, which began in January 2021 through a long collaborative process, initially included the diagnosis and consultation phases. Thus, through the Office for the Promotion and Assessment of Quality (OPAQ), the research community was consulted on their perceptions, knowledge and general concerns about issues related to research ethics. Once this information was gathered, groups of experts prepared the first drafts of the documentation that was subsequently discussed and revised in numerous meetings to define the content of the Code of Good Practice, as well as the characteristics of the new Ethics Committee.

The Code of Good Practice in Research and Doctoral Studies establishes the general ethical and deontological principles that must prevail in the scientific activities carried out at the public university of Castelló and is structured in four central axes: integrity, gender equality, open access, and communication and public commitment. The aim of this guide is to promote honest and transparent research through a series of commitments addressed both to the university as an institution and to the research community and research staff. The code has been drawn up based on the conviction that quality research must necessarily take place in an environment that encourages good research practices and in a scientific environment that is enriching, collaborative, internationally oriented and people-centred, and that healthy working conditions must be encouraged in this highly competitive field. It will serve to guide different structures and bodies in charge of research ethics management, such as the University Ethics and Social Responsibility Committee .

Regarding the new Ethics Committee, it evolves from the former Ethics Committee to a generic committee format, the Research Ethics and Integrity Committee (REC), which will guide two other specialised committees, the Human Research Ethics Committee (CEISH) and the Animal Experimentation Ethics Committee (CEEA). These specialised committees will be responsible for the assessment and certification of research projects and doctoral theses on research involving humans or animals. In this way, the UJI will consolidate a structure of ethical governance of the institution in a similar way to leading national and international centres. In addition, it will meet the increasingly frequent demands of research funders, as well as those of numerous scientific publications, which require this certification as a condition for obtaining funding or publishing results.

This governance structure is available to the entire research community, as well as to the junior research staff being trained in the professional world of research at the Doctoral School, to guide their professional work. It is applicable to all disciplines and defines the responsibilities of all those who carry out research at the Universitat Jaume I or on its behalf.
