Good Scientific Practice (incl. Generative AI) (two-day) [ONLINE WORKSHOP]
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on February 17 and 18, 2025, each starting 9:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.
Researchers are responsible for ensuring that their own conduct complies with the standards of good research practice. The workshop will introduce basic issues of research integrity by addressing important guidelines of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) and specific regulations of KIT for safeguarding good research practice – relevant for every early career researcher@KIT.
A) Basics of Responsible Conduct
- Introduction: Research, ethical principles and professional ethos of a researcher
- Basic (inter-)national recommendations and regulations for safeguarding good research practice
- Research misconduct: Examples, elements of offense, reasons and consequences
B) General Responsibilities
- Quality management: research design, documentation/archiving
- Publication process, authorship and review of manuscripts
- Supervision: Expectations/duties/roles
- Organizational culture: Collaboration, communication, prevention and dealing with conflict
- Procedures in case of suspicion and relevant contact points
C) Important Specific Responsibilities
- Important prior to any data collection: Authorization or permission relevant research
- Possible topics (depending on participants’ disciplinary/research background): ‘Research on animals’, ‘Research on humans’ and/or ‘Surveys, interviews, data privacy and security issues in research’
Throughout the various sections of the workshop the use of text- and image-generating AI will be discussed as an integral part.
Via dialogic inputs, discussion of case examples, single/group work and plenary discussion participants will have the opportunity to discuss and reflect their individual research practice and professional attitudes on being a researcher.
This event is open to members of KCDS.
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on February 17 and 18, 2025.
Technical requirements: To participate in this event, you need a stable internet connection, a webcam and a microphone. Participants will receive further detailed information regarding the online-platform prior to the event.
