Anyone who works scientifically is responsible for doing so in accordance with the recognized rules of good research practice. Good research practice includes all actions that are in accordance with the written and unwritten rules of the scientific community or individual disciplines.
Based on the fundamental principles of honesty, transparency, respect and traceability, the basic rules are formulated in various national and international regulations and rules. These provide guidance for your own academic work and can be supplemented by subject-specific (not always written) rules.
