Our Code of Integrity
NFA has joined “The Danish Code of Conduct for Scientific Integrity“ about honesty, transparency and responsibility.
The purpose of the code is to promote a good culture in Danish research, help prevent breaches of good scientific practice and scientific misconduct, and contribute to strengthening the integrity and credibility of Danish research.
As a consequence, the NFA has set up a group of researchers whose job is to promote the code by highlighting and debating the NFA’s basic principles of research integrity.
In addition, the NFA has appointed a 'Named Person', who anyone can contact about science ethics issues. The 'Named Person' shall
- be a respected and recognised researcher with significant research experience,
- have an in-depth knowledge of the research processes when several people are involved in the same research - partly from their own research and partly from the research of others,
- be sufficiently advanced in their own research career and independent enough to handle role conflicts without bias,
- be able to handle mediation and conflict resolution,
- not be part of the management system.
The NFA has appointed Peder Wolkoff as the 'Named Person'. Peder Wolkoff is a former professor, and now a visiting researcher with the NFA. He has published over 150 articles and has given numerous lectures on research integrity.
