A case of scientific misconduct that was widely discussed in public both in Germany and abroad has led the Executive Board of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft to appoint an international commission - to explore causes of dishonesty in science systems - to discuss preventive measures - to examine the existing mechanisms of professional self regulation in science and to make recommendations on how to safeguard them. As a result of its deliberations, the commission puts forward the recommendations covered in this book. The accompanying justification and commentary contain suggestions for their implementation. They are followed by a short overview of the problems in the scientific system discussed by the commission, and of institutional regulations in other countries which were helpful for drawing up these recommendations.
