Government social researchers code and publications protocol
All of RSRS’s work is carried out in adherence to the government social researchers (GSR) code.
RSRS has also implemented measures to ensure compliance with the GSR publications protocol introduced in April 2010. This protocol is intended to ensure transparency and openness of government social research, in part by requiring all final research outputs to be published within 12 weeks of the approval of a final draft report.
The GSR publications protocol publication table contains a full list of RSRS’s research within the scope of the GSR publications protocol or newly commissioned since April 2010.
