LEFT-P maintains research integrity as a public responsibility involving citation, authorship, documentation, editorial transparency, and institutional record-keeping.
Research integrity is not restricted to the prevention of misconduct. It is a positive institutional practice through which scholarly work becomes accountable, traceable, and available for public reference. For LEFT-P, this includes the accuracy of citations, the clarity of authorship and contribution, the responsible use of sources, and the preservation of document records.
The Research Integrity Office supports these responsibilities by maintaining basic procedures for citation standards, authorship records, disclosure where necessary, document verification, and the stable presentation of institutional materials.
LEFT-P may appoint Rotating Officers for Research Integrity from both research and administrative members. These officers serve fixed-term oversight roles attached to the Research Integrity Office and report to the Executive Editorial Committee.
