|Title=Code of Ethics for Researchers of the Czech Academy of Sciences (2024), Czech Academy of Sciences
|Is About=The Code of Ethics for Researchers of the Czech Academy of Sciences (2024), authored by the Czech Academy of Sciences, is a national framework written in Czech that establishes principles for responsible research within the Czech Republic. It emphasises honesty, accountability, professional courtesy, and stewardship of resources, linking these values to reproducibility, credibility, and societal trust. The Code outlines responsibilities for researchers, institutions, funders, and journals, detailing good practice in planning, conducting, publishing, and reviewing research. Key provisions include clear authorship criteria, proper citation, conflict-of-interest management, transparency of methods and data, responsible supervision, and fair peer review. It also defines misconduct and sets procedures for investigations with due process, proportional sanctions, and learning opportunities. Education and training are highlighted to ensure integrity is a core skill, while guidance on data management, digital tools, open science, and new dissemination methods supports contemporary research workflows. Practical tools such as checklists, codes of conduct, reporting templates, and FAQs help translate principles into daily practice. Equity and diversity are cross-cutting themes, promoting inclusive, discrimination-free environments. The Code is intended for researchers, supervisors, institutions, and policymakers in the Czech Republic, making it especially important for researchers and institutions under Czech jurisdiction, providing clarity, reducing ambiguity, and aligning national practice with international standards.
