[Purpose/Significance] Universities are a key nexus for science, technology, talent, and innovation. Effectively fulfilling their responsibilities is critical for the implementation of national research integrity governance. Analyzing universities’ responses to national research integrity policies helps assess the implementation of their responsibilities from a top-level design perspective, offering a theoretical basis for policy adjustments at various levels. [Method/Process] This study employed policiometrics methods to develop a multidimensional framework that incorporated both the external characteristics and textual content of policies. It analyzed the responses of 142 “double first-class” universities to national policies and provided recommendations for policy adjustments. [Result/Conclusion] The findings indicate that most “double first-class” universities have relatively comprehensive research integrity policies, with peaks in policy issuance coinciding with key national policies. However, policy responses exhibit a time lag and vary in their response levels across universities. The primary responsible institutions for policy response are the Academic Committees and Graduate Affairs Offices. Policies targeting different responsible entities predominantly rely on “command” tools, with noticeable imbalances existing in the internal structure of policy tools. Additionally, the detail and localization of university policies remain insufficient, requiring adjustments in areas such as aligning management levels, allocating policy tools, managing the workforce, and refining work processes to effectively improve the governance of university research integrity.
