T. Clausen et P. Riis, SIMPLE GUIDELINES FOR EXPERIMENTAL REPORTS, DOCUMENTATION AND STORAGEOF DATA - A NEW INITIATIVE TO FURTHER RESEARCH INTEGRITY, Danish medical bulletin, 44(1), 1997, pp. 85-87
Since 1992, the Danish Medical Research Council has taken several init
iatives to oppose scientific misconduct. One preventive measure has be
en the development of concise guidelines for the presentation of exper
imental reports and data documentation. After revisions and accept by
the major user institutions, these guidelines have been well-received
by a large number of research units and are made available to all Ph.D
. students and their supervisors. We here describe the motives for the
choice of guidelines and how they are adapted to the requirements of
ongoing medical research in Denmark.
