Recently, the number of cases where records are left on electronic media is increasing even in universities.It cannot be considered in the same way as recording on conventional paper media.While there is an urgent need to develop rules for properly handling electronic files of research information and data, Nagoya Institute of Technology has established "Guidelines for Research Data Management at Nagoya Institute of Technology" and started operation in April 2017. ..
This guideline is based on the current state of handling of research materials and the problems they have, as investigated by the "Project for Promoting Research Ethics Education that Promotes the Proper Handling of Research Information" by the Center for Engineering Education of the same university. The thing.The rules for sorting folders and files and storing data have been unified so that anyone can easily identify files.For students, "Guide for research data management (Nagoya Institute of Technology)" will be distributed to provide guidance on research data management.The aim is to prevent research misconduct and facilitate information exchange within the research group.
The purpose is just a model example, and it is not a uniform compulsion, but the establishment of guidelines as a university is an important step to prevent research misconduct.Further ethical education for students is expected in the future.
