Titel
For Professors: Ensuring Good Scientific Practice 
Übersicht
This course is specifically designed for newly appointed, junior, and tenure-track professors and supports them in their roles as researchers and leaders of research groups. It provides in-depth knowledge of research ethics and offers an opportunity to reflect on one’s own values, attitudes, and responsibilities - particularly in the tension between academic excellence, leadership responsibilities, and the supervision of theses and dissertations.

The content and scope of the training program are guided by the DFG Memorandum as well as the respective institutional guidelines for ensuring Good Scientific Practice (GSP), and are based on the 2019 revised recommendations of the curriculum for courses on “Good Scientific Practice,” which was developed on behalf of and in collaboration with the Ombudsman for Science. The course provides a step-by-step introduction to key topics and combines theoretical foundations with practical exercises, case studies, and work with GWP/GSP resources to facilitate a practical and application-oriented approach.

Schwerpunkte
  • Definition, principles, and key responsibilities of good scientific practice in the role of research supervisor
  • Guidelines and regulations on good scientific practice and scientific misconduct (TU Dresden, national, international) as well as their implementation within one’s own research group
  • Values and fundamental principles in science and research as the basis for leadership and decision-making
  • Responsible handling of data, sources, and ideas; transparent documentation (including issues in the context of AI)
  • Authorship and publication processes from the perspective of leadership and supervision (including issues in the context of AI)
  • Handling conflicts of interest and fostering trusting scientific collaboration
  • Conflict resolution within research groups, as well as the role and use of the ombudsman system
  • Recognizing, classifying, and constructively addressing research misconduct, as well as its causes and consequences
