Responsible conduct of research

To make your research time-efficient, reproducible and safe, it is important to think about technical, ethical, organizational, structural and sustainable aspects during the research process. A way of doing so is by planning how to handle these aspects.    

 

Responsible conduct of research includes proper management of primary materials and data. The key purpose of data management is to guarantee credible and transparent research
