Regulatory policy refers to the rules and regulations put in place by governments or other governing bodies to control various aspects of society, economy, or industry. These policies are intended to protect the public interest, promote competition, ensure market efficiency, and address social issues. In the context of research, regulatory policy often refers to the rules and regulations that govern research activities, such as ethical guidelines, data protection regulations, intellectual property rights, and safety standards. These policies are essential to ensure that research is conducted responsibly, ethically, and in compliance with legal requirements. Researchers and institutions conducting research must adhere to regulatory policies to protect research participants, maintain research integrity, and ensure the validity and reliability of research findings. Non-compliance with regulatory policies can result in serious consequences, including legal liabilities, reputational damage, and loss of funding.
