Calling all PhD Students and Post-Docs: in today’s blog, Alan Campbell, Research Integrity Manager in Edinburgh Research Office, highlights a not-to-be-missed event taking place on 29 September which will introduce researchers to key aspects of good research practice.
Who takes the credit for collaborative publications? Who takes the responsibility? What does good data management look like and what are the consequences of getting it wrong?
Recording, storing and presenting data, as well as publishing your findings, are key aspects of the research process. They are also complex however, and understanding how to get them right is vital knowledge for researchers. Knowing your responsibilities and learning how to avoid the pitfalls will save you time, hassle and heartache as you develop your career.
The issue of research culture is a hot topic at the moment, but what do we mean be research culture and why is it important?
