Doing your PhD@OU: about scientific integrity, ethics and data management
Performing scientific research
Performing scientific research is one of the most common methods to gain better knowledge of what is known so far. To ensure research is well performed, ethical and legal norms have been established. For research involving human participants, there are even more norms because being involved in a research study may bring participants in a risky situation and therefore risks must be minimised and participants’ rights and interests need to be protected. During this course you will learn ethical and legal norms and how to apply them on different stages of a research study.
Research data management
Research data management involves the organization of data during different phases of the research. A distinction is made between creating a data management plan during the preparation phase; collecting, storing and using data during the research and archiving research data after the completion of a research project. More information about data management is provided in this course.
