The workshop is fully booked!
The workshop introduces participants to issues of the ethical conduct in research, that is, the idea of good scientific practice.
Spectacular cases of scientific misconduct, e.g., unethical experiments, fabrication of data, and extensive plagiarism, have received widespread media attention. But less spectacular and less obvious cases of misconduct are not at all uncommon. The workshop enhances the participants’ awareness of the implicit rules and explicit regulations of conduct in research. Acquaintance with these rules will improve the participants’ research practice, and it will help them to recognise and to handle cases of misconduct of others.
The workshop is based on the recommendations of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Among the topics addressed are:
‒ Local, national and international rules and regulations of “good scientific practice”
‒ Ethical issues of research design: Are all research question and methods permissible?
‒ Handling data (e.g., from surveys): Dos, don’ts, caveats
‒ Handling the work of others: Plagiarism
‒ Publishing and authorship
‒ The relationship of supervisors and the supervised
‒ Conflicts of interest in academic research
‒ How to deal with academic misconduct
The workshop will be conducted online. To counteract online learning fatigue and because the topic of the workshop requires active involvement, lecture-like parts will alternate with activities like case studies, discussion, and practical exercises.
If you would like to participate, you are requested to allow the workshop lecturer to contact you by e-mail. Two weeks before the workshop, you will receive some assignments for preparation (ca. 1 hour); and shortly before the workshop, some more material will be shared in this way.
Please register for the workshop by sending an e-mail to bghs@uni-bielefeld.de.
