Course Description
The participants explore the differences and grey areas between good research practice, questionable practices and misconduct. They learn how violations of good research practice can be recognized and prevented, and how and why they should be addressed and dealt with in case if they occur, and what damage they 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.
