German initiatives however often only demonstrate activism, while in reality the decentralised system continues pushing under the local carpet and claiming confidentiality in closed networks and circles of amigos. The "Unabhängige Selbstkontrolle" remains the alleged key principle in German academia but is inherently impossible and thus not credible from its very inception. The committee "Ombudsman für die Wissenschaft" can stand for the facade producing to the public (and to the DFG ?) an appearance – a mascaraed full of own disclaimers why the committee is in the end not in charge of anything beyond press conference and workshop events. (Reading their bi-yearly reports is an eye-opener.) In Germany there is nothing that in essence would get anywhere close to an initiative like NRIN in the Netherlands, let alone The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) with an independent ruling authority.<br />The weblog at www.wissenschaftliche-gepflogenheiten.de is an example with a diary of a showdown and academic misconduct that made it into court some years ago. The chronicle discloses also in detail the interaction with the German "Ombudsman für die Wissenschaft" as a benchmark test and laughable experience of what “Selbstkontrolle” implies.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091218950079982154.post-10263586283181874882016-07-24T03:38:18.324+02:002016-07-24T03:38:18.324+02:00Canada's CIHR is starting, slowly, to do the s...Canada's CIHR is starting, slowly, to do the same<br />http://rcr.ethics.gc.ca/eng/disclosures-divulgations/jamal/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9091218950079982154.post-52396622331079804492016-07-01T13:54:44.528+02:002016-07-01T13:54:44.528+02:00without making such a big fuss about it, germany a...without making such a big fuss about it, germany already has a survey like this: http://forschungsinfo.de/Projekte/projekte_container.php?id=Wissenschaftler_BefragungXXXprojekte_wissenschaftler.html<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
