The quality and success of postgraduate research is supported by effective supervision.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000002-QINU`"' A good supervisor plays a crucial role in the overall experience, satisfaction, retention, and completion of postgraduate students.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000003-QINU`"' Prevalence of depression, feelings of inadequacy and impostor syndrome are high in postgraduate students and academics in general,'"`UNIQ--ref-00000004-QINU`"' and supervisors are such an important piece of the PhD journey that they often play a crucial role in development of those for doctoral students.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000005-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000006-QINU`"'

Supervision by a senior researcher is typically important for the development of any junior researcher. Having a healthy relationship with a supervisor is therefore important. Good guidelines help avoid potential conflicts between supervisor and supervisee. +
This play handles different themes related to research culture and research integrity. For instance, what is the policy on mentioning co-authors? Or on assessing the work of your competitors? How do individuals balance mentoring others and maintaining the quality of research? What is the influence of the duty to publish on the quality of your research? Therefore, the performance is typically followed by 30-60 minutes of discussion around themes raised in the script, with an instruction manual to facilitate discussions. +
Being a researcher, sooner or later in your career you may be faced with situations that may cause moral distress. The best way to meet these challenges is to be educated on research integrity and research ethics. As an interactive tool and addition to education, the Rotterdam dilemma game can be used as an exercise for considering and dealing with different research integrity issues. The game includes various themes, e.g. authorship, publications, mentoring Ph.D. students, data processing and data analysis. Whether you are a senior researcher or a Ph.D. student, the dilemma game can help you to reflect on moral issues in research.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000004-QINU`"' By presenting various dilemma scenarios (+75 of them), the “players” engage in discussions which enable them to choose and defend their position in different situations. Through its design, it aims to trigger the reconsideration of opinions and possible actions.

Many of us think academia will provide a safe, sensible and intellectual environment in which #MeToo behaviour is absent. Unfortunately, it sometimes isn’t. Although the play is fictitious, it is based on interviews, some of which were confidential. The purpose of the play is to create awareness of harassment in academia – which tends to impact young researchers or support staff in particular – while also exploring individual and institutional ways to address these issues and create a safe working environment. +
Telemedicine acceptance among patients with cancer:
Acceptance is a critical precursor to sustained telemedicine adoption. For oncology patients, acceptance is a complex behaviour change that often challenges established healthcare norms (2).<div></div> +
Empathy means understanding the feelings of another person, but not necessarily sharing them.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000017-QINU`"' Historians use empathy to put themselves in the position of individuals or groups from another time period with an aim of understanding their thoughts and feelings, and explaining motives that guided their actions within a specific historical context.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000018-QINU`"''"`UNIQ--ref-00000019-QINU`"' We can think of historical empathy as glasses that enable us to see history through the eyes of people who lived through it.'"`UNIQ--ref-0000001A-QINU`"' We are able to understand complexities of situations that people had to cope with in some difficult times, for instance, position, thoughts and actions of the British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain in his negotiations with Adolf Hitler in the fall of 1938,'"`UNIQ--ref-0000001B-QINU`"' or that of Harry Truman and his decision to drop the atomic bombs at the end of World War II.'"`UNIQ--ref-0000001C-QINU`"'
One of the most important benefits of empathy is learning to apply multi-perspectivity.'"`UNIQ--ref-0000001D-QINU`"' This can help avoid passing simplistic judgements concerning the opposite terms of “just” and “unjust”, or “friend” and “enemy”, and learn how to critically interpret historical events. Therefore, empathy is suitable for studying sensitive, controversial and ambiguous issues and circumstances related to conflicts or tragedies.'"`UNIQ--ref-0000001E-QINU`"' For example, if we think of a Holocaust victim who stole a piece of bread and do not know the context, we might think of him or her as a bad person. However, if we contextualize it and use “a healthy dose of empathy” we might be able to see a starving and desperate person, which makes it more difficult for us to blame him or her for stealing a piece of bread. We can also try to contextualize it further by introducing another Holocaust victim: What if the bread was stolen from them? What is right and wrong in this situation?'"`UNIQ--ref-0000001F-QINU`"'
Understanding falsifiability and attractor states is vital for maintaining research integrity and avoiding confirmation bias. These concepts provide a structured approach to evaluating scientific theories, especially those that may not have clear falsifiability criteria. By emphasizing the weight of evidence and its direction, researchers can make more informed decisions about the validity and reliability of their theories. +

Araştırma doğruluğu çalışması, araştırmada iyiliğin ne anlama geldiği bilinmezse kolaylıkla ezbere dayalı bir süreç haline gelebilir. İyiliğin ve iyi bir araştırmanın ne olduğunu bilmek, araştırma doğruluğu çalışmaları için iyi bir temel oluşturur.

‘Caught in the act’: Veterinary researcher caught fabricating gene data, resigns from university job +
There are fewer examples of fabrication of data or results in veterinary research;this case is one of such examples. +

“There can be no justification for such studies”: Paper on artificial eyes for dogs earns expression of concern +
There is an expression of concern rather than a retraction to this study. Whilst questions were raised whether the study met the internationally accepted standards of animal research ethics, Retraction Watch informs us that PLOS ONE noted that the experiment was approved by the relevant ethics approval body. However, it is important to present this case since - as the title suggests - not everyone would agree with the justification of such studies and practices. +

负责任研究行为规范指引 - Code of Conduct for Responsible Research (2023), Department of Supervision, Ministry of Science and Technology (70. Chat GPT - China - Code of Conduct for Responsible Research, Pos. 3) +
负责任研究行为规范指引 - Code of Conduct for Responsible Research distils national expectations for research integrity in China and clarifies what researchers and institutions in China need to do to comply. It reduces ambiguity, aligns local practice with international norms, and offers actionable steps that improve transparency, reproducibility, and equitable access. For policy leads, it is a benchmark;for authors and administrators, it is a practical checklist. Published by Department of Supervision, Ministry of Science and Technology (70. Chat GPT - China - Code of Conduct for Responsible Research, Pos. 3) in 2023, it is a credible reference to cite in institutional policies, training, and grant documentation. +
