9 - Monitoring, review and data corrections

The Research Manager is responsible for monitoring each research project to ensure that it is being carried out in accordance with the principles of this research governance framework, good practice, and any legal and ethical requirements.

If data corrections have become necessary, these will be carried out without delay and published as soon as possible, recording any changes that have been made and the reasons for these corrections. See also our Revisions and corrections policy and Quality Assurance for survey data.
