Lithuanian Code of Ethics for Scientists
What is this about?
Lithuanian Code of Ethics for Scientists (Mokslininko etikos kodeksas) was published in 2012. It consists of four main sections: general provisions; basic ethical provisions of research; dissemination of research results; and ethical provisions for the evaluation and examination of scientific works. The general provisions outline the important principles to be upheld and the professional competencies of a scientist. The basic ethical provisions of research covers both the transparency and trustworthiness of research, as well as ethical provisions for the protection of research subjects. The section on the dissemination of research results deals mainly with authorship, plagiarism, accessibility of research results, and correction of the scientific record. The final section, on ethical provisions for the evaluation and examination of scientific works, covers the expertise of evaluators, independence and potential conflicts of interest, and transparency of the evaluation process.
