E-Learning Courses
Our e-learning courses for doctoral candidates provide you with an introduction to key topics in good scientific practice and research data management.
The courses were developed by the GraduateCenterLMU to supplement existing teaching and information offerings from central institutions such as the University Library, as well as from faculties and departments. They are available on Moodle, LMU's central learning platform, and are offered in German and English.
E-Learning Course 'Scientific Integrity and Good Scientific Practice'
In order to work independently on your own research project, it is essential to be familiar with the specifics of academic work and the rules of good scientific practice. All members of LMU Munich who are involved in research are obliged to follow the principles of good scientific practice (Regulation of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München for Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice, PDF).
The modular course teaches the basic principles of responsible research. It covers topics such as
- specifics of scientific work
- national and international guidelines
- scientific misconduct.
Each module concludes with a few short questions on the content presented. After successful completion of the course, a certificate (confirmation of participation) can be requested. Each module takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.
