From authorship in joint publications to long-term storage of research data, GRP covers a wide range of topics. This workshop offers a basic introduction to the principles of good research practice as required by the German Research Foundation (DFG). In particular, it addresses the recommendations that are highly relevant for doctoral researchers.

The content is supplemented by background information on scientific ethics and conflict management. On the one hand, values, virtues, potential problems and conflicts in the research context are explained and, on the other hand, basic recommendations of the DFG, relevant codes and rules for ensuring good research practice are presented. In addition, specific examples are used to illustrate scientific misconduct as well as the reasons and consequences, and subject-specific differences and similarities between the disciplines are discussed.
