Good research practice - what is it about?

"Scientific integrity forms the basis for trustworthy research. It is an example of academic voluntary commitment that encompasses a respectful attitude towards peers, research participants, animals, cultural assets, and the environment, and strengthens and promotes vital public trust in research. (...) The Research community itself ensures good practice through fair and honest attitudes and conduct as well as organisational and procedural regulations." (DFG Code of Conduct 2019: 7)

In the Rules for Safeguarding Good Research Practice, the University of Göttingen and the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) have laid down the standards and rules of good research practice based on the DFG guidelines, which are binding for all members of the University and UMG. The regulations and further explanations of the standards of good research practice can be found in the brochure "An Orientation Framework for Good Research Practice".
