Openness in Research
Stanford's policy on Openness in Research expresses Stanford's commitment to openness in research. The policy defines and prohibits secrecy, including limitations on publishability of results. Proposals for work involving secrecy, as defined in this policy, are not permitted and such projects may not be undertaken at Stanford. An Openness in Research checklist is available to review particular project requirements.
