Good research practice and research misconduct
There is no exact definition of “good research practice”, but a number of basic principles are commonly pointed to. The term “research misconduct” also lacks a globally accepted meaning, but in Swedish law “research misconduct” is defined in terms of serious deviations from good research practice in the form of fabrication, falsification or plagiarism. Here, you can find more information about good research practice and research misconduct, as well as about how suspicions of deviations from good research practice are handled.

Ethics requirements from funding agencies
Some funding agencies have specific requirements when it comes to research ethics. A general minimal requirement (not always explicitly stated) is that the research must be conducted in accordance with relevant legislation and good research practice. The more specific requirements vary among different agencies, as do the procedures for monitoring and reporting. Here you can find more information, including about requirements for research funded by the Swedish Research Council and the European commission.
