Collaborative Working

Abstract

Research collaborations offer numerous professional opportunities as well as challenges, especially for early career researchers. This is why it is important to know the rights and responsibilities of researchers in collaborations. The aim of this chapter is to help early career researchers apply principles of good research practices of European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity in collaborative working, including interdisciplinary and international collaborations. We will indicate potential problems that can arise in different stages of collaborations. We will also provide recommendations with regard to determining your roles and responsibilities in collaborations, procedures on handling research misconduct, and possible publication disputes.
