Good Scientific Practice

According to the Danish law on scientific dishonesty etc., there is a distinction between scientific dishonesty and questionable research practice. Confer Act on Scientific Dishonesty, etc. (Act No. 383 of 04/26/2017, in Danish).

Scientific dishonesty is defined as: "fabrication, forgery and plagiarism committed intentionally or grossly negligently when planning, implementing or reporting research" (translated from Act No. 383 of 04/26/2017). ITU are to be notified of cases concerning scientific dishonesty, if the research is carried out at ITU. According to the law, ITU forwards the complaint to "Practice Committee".

Questionable research practice is defined as "breach of generally accepted standards of responsible research practice, including the standards of the Danish code of integrity in research and other applicable institutional, national and international practices and guidelines for integrity in research" (translated from Act No. 383 of 04/26/2017). Allegations of questionable research practice concerning ITU research should be submitted, in writing, to ITU's Practice Committee.

The members of ITU's Practice Committee are appointed by Academic Council and make independent decisions concerning doubtful research practice.

The committee consists of 

• Rachel Douglas-Jones,  Associate Professor, Business IT (Chair)
