Comment on: GL14 (Engineering/engineering sciences)
Evaluation of transfer and industry-related research
03.12.2020 – In the field of engineering sciences, transfer, cooperation with companies and a potential practical application can be particularly important.
Comment on: GL5 (Engineering/engineering sciences)
Self-citations in the engineering sciences
03.12.2020 – The description of a general experimental set-up may be similar across several publications.
Comment on: GL13 (Engineering/engineering sciences)
Statements by ethics committees in engineering research
03.12.2020 – Statements by ethics committees are often indispensable in the engineering sciences.
Comment on: GL10 (Engineering/engineering sciences)
Technical systems and metadata
03.12.2020 – Technical systems, along with their hardware and software, are usually made up of a mixture of commercial and self-created components. Ideally, the design phase should already take care that metadata is generated as automated and standardised as possible.
Comment on: GL12 (Engineering/engineering sciences) , GL12 (Natural sciences)
Roles and responsibilities in larger teams
03.12.2020 – Since engineering work equals teamwork, there are usually a number of participants involved, with dynamically shifting roles and responsibilities.
Comment on: GL8 (Engineering/engineering sciences)
Making research results available
03.12.2020 – Research results are often unique or consist of large amounts of data. Both make fully comprehensive provision difficult.
Comment on: GL13 (Engineering/engineering sciences)
Archiving of samples
03.12.2020 – In some areas of engineering science, samples have a particularly important role to play.
Comment on: GL17 (Engineering/engineering sciences)
Publication media in engineering sciences
03.12.2020 – In the engineering sciences, publications appear in a broad range of publication media. In addition to academic journals, other relevant outlets include international conference proceedings and patents.
Comment on: GL15 (Engineering/engineering sciences)
Quality assurance in the engineering sciences
03.12.2020 – A clear interpretation of results is sometimes made difficult by the complexity of the problem.
Comment on: GL7 (Engineering/engineering sciences)
Standards/references
03.12.2020 – In the engineering sciences, a standard is something that is arrived at the end of a prolonged process. In the context of research in this field, it makes more sense to regard a standard as a point of reference.
Comment on: GL11 (Engineering/engineering sciences)
Statutory requirements
03.12.2020 – In addition to legal requirements, occupational health and safety regulations and certifications also have to be observed.
