Ethics and Data Management

One of the main objectives is to prepare ESRs to be intellectually autonomous, independent researchers and good citizens. Integrity - research and personal – is a vital component of this process. Integrity, ethical values and principles will be conveyed to ESRs in the project and through the institutions. LNETN will comply with European and national legislation and fundamental ethical principles, including those reflected in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European Convention on Human Rights and its Supplementary Protocols. All ESRs and Consortium members will be required to understand and adhere to the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity (ECCRI).

Each university has ethical rules and regulations which will apply to the individual ESRs. The Supervisory Board will establish, if required, an ad hoc sub–committee to review and report on all cases of misconduct or any other ethical issues, which are not appropriate to consider at the university level. All ESRs will take a formal research ethics course. They will discuss ethical values and principles and become familiar with ECCRI during the first ESR meeting at AAU. Local Project Leaders are responsible for introducing ESRs to the local ethical values and principles and procedures for handling misconduct, such as verifiability and integrity of data, plagiarism, and misuse of funds, grievance procedures.

The ESRs will all use the FAIR principles to guide their data management from planning, to collection, processing, analysis, storage to curation, publishing, and dissemination. To help optimising the potential for future sharing and reuse of data and outputs, a Data Management Plan (DMP) will be a project deliverable in all the ESR projects. For writing the DMP, LNETN encourages all ESRs to use the Danish installation of DMPonline, which is a tool for writing DMPs. The tool is available to all employees at Danish research institutions and their collaborators.

Throughout the project we will use URKUND software that offers a fully-automated system for handling plagiarism.
