DTU Danish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity I.

Honesty To ensure the trustworthiness of research, researchers should be honest when reporting objectives, methods, data, analysis, results, conclusions, etc. This requires accurate and balanced reporting when: • presenting and interpreting research • making claims based on findings • acknowledging the work of other researchers • applying for research funding • reviewing and evaluating research Transparency To ensure the credibility of scientific reasoning and to ensure that academic reflection is consistent with practice in the relevant field of research, all phases of research should be transparent. This requires openness when reporting: • conflicts of interest • planning of research • research methods applied • results and conclusions Accountability To ensure the reliability of research, all parties involved should be accountable for the research carried out. This requires that researchers and institutions accept responsibility for the research they are conducting, in terms of: • accuracy and reliability of research results • adherence to all relevant regulations • fostering and maintaining a culture of research integrity through teaching, training, and supervision • taking appropriate measures when dealing with breaches of responsible conduct of research DTU – Technical University of Denmark 7
