Annotated collection of guidelines from academic institutions for the protection of scientific work

To safeguard excellent scientific work and successful international collaboration, universities and research institutions need to establish and apply clear rules for protecting their research. We have compiled and annotated a selection of publicly available institutional guidelines as examples. The collection presents 30 examples of guidelines from European universities and research organisations. It serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers, policy makers and institutions to safeguard the integrity of scientific work. The content is intended as a working aid; for more detail, the original documents should be consulted.
