Good Research Practice from Different Perspectives
Research ethics involves much more than what is covered in ethical reviews and legal frameworks. In this seminar, organised by Stockholm Trio, different aspects of ethics in research will be discussed, including values in science, researchers as experts, academic authorship, and ethical issues as conceived by PhD students will be discussed.
