Advisory opinions 2024-15, 2024-16 and 2024-17

PhD candidate (medicine) comes into conflict with his project group. Complaints were filed back and forth. The LOWI deems the complaint about the PhD candidate partially well-founded (regarding authorship) and qualifies this as ‘questionable research practice’. It does not qualify as ‘research misconduct’. Counter-complaints by the PhD candidate about the project group are unfounded.
