Good scientific practice
Knowledge, communication and promotion of good scientific practice are fundamental to high-quality research performance - without scientific integrity there is no scientific quality. It is therefore necessary to establish good scientific practice as an ever-present topic of scientific work. From Master's students to experienced researchers, from first semester students to dissertation supervisors - good scientific practice affects everyone, albeit in different ways. Therefore, this page lists information and offers that support researchers of all qualification levels in the area of good scientific practice.
