Content
The DFG Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice provide the written framework for regulations in science and are implemented in university-specific documents as well as in the everyday work of researchers. Although good scientific practice is often associated with instances of plagiarism, it encompasses significantly more aspects than this. The event will take a look at various key topics of good scientific practice:
- Fundamental papers of quality assurance in science
- Authorship
- Facets of professional ethics
- Scientific misconduct and the consequences associated with it
- Conflicts of interest and the institutionalized ways to resolve them
- Supervisory responsibility and the duty to convey the rules of good scientific practice to students and doctoral students
