Guideline 11

Methods and standards

To answer research questions, researchers use scientifically sound and appropriate methods. When developing and applying new methods, they attach particular importance to quality assurance and the establishment of standards.

Explanations:

The application of a method normally requires specific expertise that is ensured, where necessary, by suitable cooperative arrangements. The establishment of standards for methods, the use of software, the collection of research data and the description of research results is essential for the comparability and transferability of research outcomes.

Guidelines on the Handling of Research Software

The guidelines describe challenges in handling research software and provide recommendations for its development, use and provision. They were created by the ad hoc Research Software working group which was newly founded in 2016 as part of the Alliance Initiative “Digital Information”.
