Common use of Timelines and reports Clause in Contracts

Timelines and reports. In the beginning of his/her scientific work, the PhD student should compile an exposé (thesis concept paper) with a timeline that allows a successful completion of the PhD thesis within the period agreed (usually about three years). The PhD student should wherever applicable document his/her progress in written reports. An updated time line should be part of each report. [Name of the Doctorade Candidate] will participate in the RTG program and the PhD Program [“Neurosensory Science and Systems”]. [Name of the Doctorade Candidate] will take part in the PhD program courses and events to an adequate extent. At German universities and research institutions, freedom of science in research, teaching and studies is guaranteed. This freedom is associated with responsibility for fostering the fundamental values and norms of good scientific practice, for realizing them in the researcher’s daily activity and for defending them. The successful application of the principles of good scientific practice is a prerequisite for the high standard of achievement in the scientific system. The recommendations on fundamentals for good scientific work are as follows: Awareness of principles of good scientific practice: Honesty and truth maintain absolute priority in scientific work. The PhD student should be aware of all principles of good scientific practice. The information can be obtained through the participation in an adequate course offered by the Graduate School of the Faculty V and/or the daily activities of the research group. The principles of good scientific practice are to be looked up by the PhD student (e.g. at ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇/download/gute_wiss._praxis_web.pdf). PhD Students have to learn about good scientific practice in a corresponding Workshop. Cooperation and leadership responsibility in working groups: Each PhD student is personally responsible for his/her own work. A working group or unit usually has one group leader. The group leader carries the responsibility for the work and the conditions for facilitating an effective cooperation and coordination of the members. All members of a working group must be able to rely on each other since mutual trust is the basis for all conversations, discussions and even confrontations. Cooperation in scientific working groups must allow the findings to be communicated, critically discussed and integrated into a common level of knowledge and experience. Scientific misconduct: Misconduct, including the production and use of incorrect data, neglecting intellectual property rights and affecting others research activities, must be completely avoided. The ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ University Oldenburg has appointed two confidants as contacts who look into allegations of misconduct and the “Commission for Impact Assessment and Ethics” who inquire into the case of misconduct. The rules of procedures and the time limits for inquiries and investigations to ascertain the facts and rights of the involved parties to be heard are also defined. The sanctions depend on the seriousness of the proven misconduct and include consequences for employment, civil implications or penal consequences of the misconducting scientist(s). The ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ University of Oldenburg has defined proceedings in the case of suspicion of scientific misconduct: Documenting results: Experiments and numerical calculations can only be repeated if all important steps are reproducible. For this purpose, they must be recorded in a clear and comprehensive manner. Therefore, the PhD students should securely store methods and primary data as the basis for publications for at least ten years in a durable form in the institution of origin. Working groups usually consist of older and younger, experienced and less experienced scientists. Younger members or less experienced members of the group should receive adequate mentorship of the senior scientist(s). In conflict situations the confident committee as well as the coordinator should mediate between both parties.
