From an ethical perspective, the conduct of business research is an oftentimes highly complex endeavour in which the interests of researchers, individuals, organisations, and society at large may not always be easy to reconcile.
prof. dr. ir. Hans Berends

Course Description
The basic premise of this course is that research integrity is a cornerstone for the quality of academic research. Issues of research integrity are particularly important in these times in which the credibility of science is at stake. Research integrity involves avoiding academic misconduct, engaging in responsible research practices, ethical treatment of research participants, careful research data management, and accurate and fair communication about research. This course addresses the norms that have emerged regarding each of these aspects, but also recognizes that there are no absolute standards. Research practices and norms in fields evolve and researchers are confronted with grey areas and dilemmas. This course helps junior researchers to reflect on research practices and navigate grey areas towards more responsible research practices
