The registry

A public record of research integrity.

The North Keeper registry lets anyone look up a research institution and check what its integrity actually rests on — deterministic checks and a True North Certificate, not a press release.

The public registry is launching. We are onboarding the first institutions now.

Browse the registry

When the registry opens, you will be able to search by institution and read its current standing: which checks have passed, when they last ran, and the certificate that ties them together. No account, and nothing to take on faith — every entry links back to the evidence behind it.

Public search is coming online shortly. Want to be told when it does? [email protected]

Verify your institution

If you run research and want its integrity on the record, this is where it starts. We will walk you through the checks, connect the systems they read from, and issue a True North Certificate you can point anyone to. It proves the work — it does not just describe it.

About the registry

Most claims about research integrity are assurances: someone says the work was done properly, and you decide whether to believe them. The registry replaces assurance with proof. Each institution's standing is built from deterministic checks that anyone can re-run and a certificate that records what they found.

Ethical consent

obtained and recorded, not assumed.

Reproducibility

results that hold up when the work is run again.

Responsible spending

funds spent within their stated purpose.

Together these form the True North Certificate — a single, checkable statement of where an institution stands. Proof, not assurance.
