6. Good Scientific Practice

The three universities of the Research Campus are committed to the rules of good scientific practice. Good scientific practice is not limited to the avoidance of scientific misconduct, the obligation to document research results or the identification of sources, but also strives to ensure that early career researchers obtain adequate support.

All three universities have established a permanent committee to review allegations of scientific misconduct, and provide an ombudsman service at each of the three universities for all researchers who are directly or indirectly affected by scientific misconduct and would like to take action against it. If possible, the ombudsperson will also attempt to mediate if there are prospects that good scientific practice can hereby be restored.
