The UJI incorporates the use of artificial intelligence in the update of its Code of Good Practice in Research and Doctoral Studies
It is one of the first Spanish universities to do so and also adds new features regarding institutional affiliation and open science
image: The Universitat Jaume I de Castelló (UJI) has published the second version of its Code of Good Practice in Research and Doctoral Studies (CBPID), a key tool in its commitment to responsible, high-quality research. With this update, one of the first carried out by a Spanish university, the UJI adapts its ethical framework to new challenges and needs that have arisen in recent years. The new version of the code (the previous one was from 2022) expands and reinforces fundamental content with the addition of two new sections dedicated to the use of artificial intelligence in research and the institutional affiliation of research staff. The section on open science has also been expanded and relevant aspects surrounding the definition of conflicts of interest and the functioning of the UJI's Ethics and Integrity System have been updated. As a new feature, the code now has a specific website (https://www.uji.es/investigacio/base/etica/cbpid/) integrated into the university's research ethics portal. This page allows users to easily consult and organize the resources, regulations and references included in the code, and facilitates its periodic updating.

The Universitat Jaume I de Castelló (UJI) has published the second version of its Code of Good Practice in Research and Doctoral Studies (CBPID), a key tool in its commitment to responsible, high-quality research. With this update, one of the first carried out by a Spanish university, the UJI adapts its ethical framework to new challenges and needs that have arisen in recent years.
The new version of the code (the previous one was from 2022) expands and reinforces fundamental content with the addition of two new sections dedicated to the use of artificial intelligence in research and the institutional affiliation of research staff. The section on open science has also been expanded and relevant aspects surrounding the definition of conflicts of interest and the functioning of the UJI's Ethics and Integrity System have been updated.
As a new feature, the code now has a specific website (https://www.uji.es/investigacio/base/etica/cbpid/) integrated into the university's research ethics portal. This page allows users to easily consult and organize the resources, regulations and references included in the code, and facilitates its periodic updating.
The code review process was conducted as part of the European CATALISI project, reinforcing the UJI's institutional commitment to fostering a more responsible scientific culture. With this update, the university takes a further step in advancing its ethical research management tools, contributing to a more robust research environment and addressing issues such as the misuse of AI and unethical practices in scientific affiliation.
