Guidelines of Good Research Practice at the Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute

These “Guidelines of Good Research Practice at the Leibniz Institute on Aging – Fritz Lipmann Institute” (FLI) are based primarily on the Code of Conduct of the German Research Foundation (DFG) “Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Research Practice” published in 2019 and the “Leibniz Code for Good Research Practice” adopted in 2021.

The Guidelines of Good Research Practice at the FLI implement the DFG Code of Conduct and its supplements and adapts them to the specific needs of the FLI. It is intended as a local supplement to the “Leibniz Code for Good Research Practice,” which is recognized and implemented by the FLI.

In particular with regard to the tasks of the ombudspersons and to the rules of procedure for suspected scientific misconduct, these Guidelines are supplemented by the “Guidelines for Good Scientific Practice in the Leibniz Association.”

With this document, the FLI informs its employees of the locally established rules of good research practice, which they are obliged to observe.
