As an institution dedicated to excellence in education, research and outreach, Oklahoma
State University places a high value on research integrity and academic freedom. Objectivity
in the conduct of research, the freedom to disseminate ideas through publication of
research results, the protection of the rights and interests of research participants,
maintenance of public trust, and the ability to ensure that our responsibility to
our students and trainees is not compromised are critical to these institutional values.
Relationships with industry and other outside entities, while important to the support
and advancement of research, can present special challenges in protecting these institutional
values.
