Kristin Bivens, associate professor and director of Core Writing from the College of Liberal Arts' Department of English, recently published "Safeguarding research integrity: SAGER guidelines, research ethics, and the politics of evidence" in The Lancet, along with co-authors from around the world.
The forthcoming SAGER-Ethics guidelines aim to offer clear, practical recommendations aligned with commitments to equity, integrity and responsible science. They are intended to support researchers and to guide evaluation by research ethics committees and institutional review boards by clarifying expectations regarding the relevance and inclusion of sex and gender dimensions as prerequisites for inclusive and ethical study design and conduct.
