Responsible Science at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥

At the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, we work together to promote responsible science practices and open science.

Responsible science is open and ethically conducted. It is communicated and evaluated in a responsible manner.

Research at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ is based on the principles of responsible science in accordance with the University's values of openness, trust, quality and integrity. 

JYU is committed to the principles and procedures of the Finnish National Board on Research Integrity TENK. 

The implementation of ethical principles in research is responsible science, taking into account good scientific practice, research ethics, responsible data management, including data protection and data security requirements, responsible scientific communication and the promotion of a culture of open science.

Research at JYU complies with national and international principles and requirements for open science and research, such as the National Declaration for Open Science and Research 2020 - 2025, its guidelines and recommendations.

JYU is committed to the international DORA Declaration on Researcher Assessment and the university also has its own principles for responsible research assessment.

Finnish research is part of the international scientific community. In particular, European guidelines must be taken into account, the most important of which is the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity of theEuropean Federation of Academies of Sciences and Humanities ALLEA.

This page provides a comprehensive overview of responsible science and research ethics policies, practices and principles

Research integrity (RI)

Piirtoheitin valaisee vanhaa kellastunutta karttaa seinällä.

The basic principles of research integrity (RI) are reliability, honesty, respect, and accountability.

RI consists of good scientific practices that ensure that RI is maintained throughout the life span of any research. Failure to follow good research practices can, in the worst case,lead to suspicion and investigation of RI violations. 

Here you will find guidelines on research integrity and good scientific practice as well as a description of the procedure for dealing with violations of RI.

Ethical review at JYU

The Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ has a Human Sciences Ethics Committee. Its task is to conduct ethical reviews and issue statements on research projects that use human science methods or involve human participants.  The aim of the ethical review is to protect the subjects and to ensure legal certainty for the researcher.

The ethical principles set out in the Committee's guidelines must always be followed whenever human subjects are involved in research, even when ethical review is not mandatory.
