Governance is the process of governing or managing a group of people or an organization in a way that ensures their interests are aligned and their goals are achieved. In the context of research, governance refers to the structure and processes that guide decision-making and ensure accountability in the field of research. This can include ethical principles, regulations, policies, and guidelines that govern the conduct of research, as well as mechanisms for oversight and enforcement of these rules. Good governance is essential for maintaining the integrity and credibility of research, protecting the rights and welfare of research participants, and ensuring the responsible and ethical conduct of research activities.
