For this course, memorize and think about the following:
1.
Researchers with research integrity generate results that society can rely on. They are able to explain step by step how they arrived at their research results. Furthermore, the results should be reproducible by others. Researchers with research integrity use the standards of their research discipline as a guideline from the first idea for new research to the end of the research process. Researchers are both supported by and observed within their research environment. Some people specialise in observing and advising to keep research reliable and trustworthy. Their tasks are outlined in research ethics committee policies, codes for good scientific practice, task descriptions of ombudspersons, declarations of data protection etc.
2.
What does an ombudsperson do?
They can be called to enforce the rules of good research practice in the event of suspicion of misconduct. All enquiries and procedures will be treated confidentially and impartially. The support includes advice, assessment and recommendation (first advice also by telephone or e-mail).
What is a data management officer in research?
They ensure and monitor compliance with the research data management policy and provide technical support.
What are the tasks of a research ethics committee?
Research ethics committees assess ethical issues in research projects, provide information and advice in compliance with legal requirements, professional rules and research standards. The support includes advice, assessment and recommendation.
3.
"The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity serves
the European research community as a framework for self-regulation
across all scientific and scholarly disciplines and for all research settings" (ALLEA, https://allea.org/code-of-conduct/). Have a look.
