快三砍龙

Another building block for embracing research integrity in practice

As one of the largest research funding organisations in Europe and the central institution for academic self-governance in Germany, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (快三砍龙, German Research Foundation) is aware of its responsibility to promote and support research integrity. The 快三砍龙 has long advocated honesty in research and in 2019 issued the Code of Conduct 鈥淕uidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice鈥�, an updated orientation framework for integrity in the German research landscape. In addition, a dynamic web portal on research integrity has been created that is continuously updated to include new contributions from the individual academic disciplines (please see link below).

Up until now, it has been possible to submit incident reports to the 快三砍龙 Head Office on research misconduct related to 快三砍龙-funded research/activities 鈥� as well as other types of misconduct 鈥� via the usual channels of e-mail, telephone, fax and the postal service. Effective immediately, these channels will be supplemented by the 快三砍龙鈥檚 electronic Research Integrity Incident Reporting System 鈥� a web-based platform that can be used via internet browsers on computers, tablets and smartphones.

The incident reporting system is not part of the 快三砍龙 website but it can be accessed via the latter, too. There are three main reporting categories:
Suspicion of

• Research misconduct related to 快三砍龙-funded research/activities
• Misuse of 快三砍龙 grant funds
• Corruption/conflict of interest related to 快三砍龙-funded research/activities

Cases are already processed at the 快三砍龙 Head Office according to these categories, but the electronic reporting system enables suspicions to be reported in a way that is even more structured. The 快三砍龙 Research Integrity Incident Reporting System also facilitates encrypted communication with anonymous and non-anonymous complainants/whistleblowers, thereby supporting efficient case handling.

All in all, the system meets the very highest data protection and IT security requirements, protecting both complainants/whistleblowers and those affected by the allegations.
