Malaysian Code of Responsible Conduct in Research

The Malaysian Code of Responsible Conduct in Research (MCRCR) is a national code of ethics in research to enhance science governance in Malaysia and promote the efficient implementation of policies and strategies through transparency and accountability in research and development.

Throughout three years of its implementation, the MCRCR was updated and enhanced based on the comments and inputs from various parties. This led to the publication of the second edition of MCRCR in 2020. The second edition of the MCRCR was circulated by MOSTI to the Cabinet for it to be the primary reference in all research and development in the country.

The Committee on Research Integrity (CRI) chaired by Academician Emeritus Professor Dato’ Dr Khalid Yusoff FASc was elevated to the National Committee on Research Integrity (NCRI). This elevation enabled it to perform at the national level to plan, coordinate and monitor the implementation of MCRCR initiatives as well as provide MCRCR advice and training.
