The Finnish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity and Procedures for Handling Alleged Violations of Research Integrity in Finland
What is this about?
The Finnish National Board on Research Integrity (TENK) has been publishing guidelines for researchers, students and research institutions since 1994. The 2023 edition of the TENK guidelines incorporates several significant changes, aimed primarily at bringing the Finnish national research guidelines into closer harmony with the updated European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity.
The 2023 edition of the TENK guidelines replaces "RCR" with "Research Integrity" in the English translation, and shifts the focus away from misconduct and negligence and towards good practices.Why is this important?
The changes made to the Finnish code of conduct show a move to a more international understanding of what constitutes research integrity and good research practice.
