Code-of-Conduct-final

DTU Danish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity 1.Research planning and conduct Conscientious planning and conduct of research are essential prerequisites for responsible conduct of research, and consequently fundamental to ensuring transparent and credible research. This applies to all fields of research, regardless of the fact that research methods are as varied as the fields of research. Responsible conduct of research applies throughout the research process, from planning of research to reporting of results. DEFINITIONS Research strategies, plans and protocols are types of planning tools for how re-search could be carried out. The form, content and implementation of these tools are decided by the field of research in question and thus may vary across differ-ent disciplines. All research planning and conduct must take into consideration existing laws and regula-tions, as well as this Danish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity. 1.1. Responsibilities i. The design, collection of data, and conduct of the intended research should be planned in a manner consistent with practices within the field of research in question. This could entail application of a research planning tool, e.g. a re-search strategy, plan, protocol or other tools. At DTU, application of a research plan is a standard requirement in all research planning. ii. Research should be documented in a manner consistent with practices in the field of research in question, e.g. by keeping records, logbooks, journals or simi-lar practices – if possible with dates and entries by the person(s) responsible for the conduct of the research. To the extent possible, the documentation should allow the research to be examined and – when relevant – reproduced. For the major part of research projects at DTU, research and documentation thereof can be done in such a manner that the results of the research can be reproduced.
