Responsible Conduct of Research and Scholarship (RCRS)

This handout contains an overview of the information presented in this guide.

The College of Engineering's Responsible Conduct of Research and Scholarship (RCRS) program is designed to model, teach and foster responsible scholarship and research integrity, and to provide you with the tools and skills to recognize, address, and resolve ethical issues as they arise in classroom, professional, and research settings. 

The tools and resources on this website were compiled to help you manage your work in the lab, your literature searches and sources, and citations. If you have any questions, please contact the librarian from your research area (see profiles on the right side of this page) or the College of Engineering RCRS directory, Elizabeth Wagner, elwa@umich.edu, 734-647-7007.
