Research ethics

Research ethics are good scientific practices and all employees at UIO and NCMM should have a high degree of awareness on the ethical aspects of their research. At NCMM the group leaders govern the responsibility for good scientific practices in line with the UIO policy.

UIO's10 commandments for ethical practices

Documentation of research

• Lab books- At NCMM we use numbered laboratory journals to document experiments. The books must be signed out and returned to Carlos: c.r.rodriguez@ncmm.uio.no
• Project tracking- It is important to store raw data, document procedures used and handling of data and material in agreement with the group leader

Data policy

• Storing and handling of research data

• You can find Checklist for processing data here
• Key elements in an agreement for transfer of material by UiO here
• Form for subject identity list and list of trial subjects here

Forskpro

Is a registry UiO uses for overview of ongoing research projects. Here all medical and health research projects carried out at UiO should be registered. This also include other research projects if your unit at UiO is using Forskpro. Since NCMM is using Forskpro all projects must be registered.

Authorship

As a general rule, NCMM aims to follow the Vancouver convention on authorship as closely as possible.

Ethical guidelines

We expect all members of NCMM to be honest in scientific communications both within and outside the lab. Plagiarism is not tolerated and it is your responsibility to know the definition and scope of plagiarism. Any perceived cases of scientific misconduct by group members should be brought to your group leader/manager's attention.
