Course description
The major objective of the workshop “Good Scientific Practice – Protecting Research
Integrity” is to know and understand the basic rules and values of the responsible conduct of
research in all its stages, according to local, national and international regulations and
guidelines. The participants will explore the differences and grey areas between good
scientific practice, more or less problematic rule breaches, and scientific misconduct. They
will learn how questionable research practices and misconduct can be recognized and
prevented, and how and why it should be addressed and dealt with in case it occurs, and
what damage it can cause if handled improperly. The participants will learn how to protect
their scientific work and are encouraged to speak with colleagues and supervisors about
important issues. They will reflect on the reasons for engaging in good scientific practice and
receive instructive materials and links to helpful websites.
The content of the workshop follows the curriculum “Good scientific practice” which was
commissioned by and developed in cooperation with the German Research Ombudsman:
- Good scientific practice, questionable research practices and scientific misconduct
- Documenting the research process, data and source management
- Authorship and the process of publication
- Collaboration and conflicts of interest
- Roles, responsibilities and accountability in science
- Conflict management: how to deal with scientific misconduct
- Local, national and international guidelines and regulations on good scientific practice
and scientific misconduct
The workshop encourages the active involvement of the participants and features case
discussions, individual working sessions, plenary discussions, and information input.
Additional material and other resources will be provided after the workshop.
