Scientific integrity governs the researcher's activity by rules and values that guarantee its honesty and rigour.
It is the basis of the contract between science and society. The Scientific Integrity Referent within AMU is the point of entry for the university community on any question relating to scientific integrity, which will be treated in strict confidence.
