Veranstaltungstyp: Seminar (Lehre)
Beschreibung: This worksshop had to be cancelled due to a low number of participants! The workshop on 10 may 2024 will take place as planned!

Trainer
The workshop is given by Prof. Dr. Gregor Bucher.

NOTE: attendance of a seminar on Good Scientific Practice is mandatory for all GAUSS (incl. GGNB) doctoral students!


Location: The workshop location will be announced to registered participants in due time.

Course description
First, we will discuss some cases of scientific misconduct and the motivation of the respective cheaters. Then, appropriate and inappropriate means of handling, processing, and displaying scientific data will be discussed (e.g. sampling and statistics, image processing), with examples of "borderline" cases being presented. Then we come to the question of proper data management and long term storage of data and to the importance of keeping lab books properly. Finally, we discuss the issue of authorships.

Finally, you will be familiarized with the rules of Good Scientific Practice enacted by various organizations (University, Max-Planck-Society, DFG) and we will discuss what to do and how to act in cases where there is suspicion or evidence for scientific misconduct.

Testimonials by former participants:

* The workshop made me aware of issues that I did not realize can and probably will come up during my PhD. I think I am now much better prepared for them.
* I would recommend this course to every PhD student. It discusses some very important aspects of being a good scientist and sparks interesting discussions along the way.
* The ''Good Scientific Practice'' workshop led by Prof. Dr. Bucher was a great opportunity to understand whether a scientific practice could be considered misconduct or not. The workshop was interactive since we shared our thoughts with other colleagues from the same scientific field.
* The workshop was a great experience. The input you get definitely helps to continue your career in a way of good scientific practice. Also, it is nice to get insights on how to progress, if someone else does not behave according to the guidelines.
This workshop reminded me of how doing good and proper science should be enough to have as a goal! It was quite adequate without going into too many details of the rules, and it is very ideal for students beginning their PhD.
