For this course memorize and think about the following:
Misconduct in publication can appear in the following forms:
- Manipulating authorship or denigrating the role of other researchers in publications
- „Re-publishing substantive parts of one’s own earlier publications, including translations, without duly acknowledging or citing the original (‘self-plagiarism’)
- Citing selectively to enhance own findings or to please editors, reviewers or colleagues.
- Withholding research results.
- Allowing funders/sponsors to jeopardise independence in the research process or reporting of results so as to introduce or promulgate bias.
- Expanding unnecessarily the bibliography of a study.“ (ECoC, 2017, p.8)
