Netherlands Code of Conduct for Research Integrity
Universities in the Netherlands attach great importance to research integrity and the ethical aspects of scientific and scholarly research. Monitoring and enhancing research integrity is essential to the future of our universities. The Dutch universities strive to ensure that researchers can and do adhere to the standards for good research practices. The universities also take research misconduct very seriously, making every effort to prevent and trace instances of research misconduct. Everyone should be able to trust that scientific and scholarly research meets the necessary standards of integrity.

European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity
The European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity serves as a framework for self-regulation within all scientific and educational disciplines and for all research activities for the European research community.
The Code, revised in 2017, identifies the challenges arising from technological developments, open science, citizen science and social media, among other things. The European Commission sees the Code as a reference document for scientific integrity within all EU-funded research projects. It is also a model for organizations and research across Europe.
Good research practices are based on fundamental principles of research integrity. They guide researchers in their work as well as in their engagement with the practical, ethical and intellectual challenges inherent in research.The European Code of Conduct for Research IntegrityRevised Edition (2017)Published in Berlin by ALLEA - All European AcademiesCan be found online -

Note on Scientific Integrity
In this memorandum, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) state that the responsibility for the prevention and identification of scientific misconduct lies primarily with researchers and research institutions themselves. They believe it is desirable that every university, KNAW and NWO should appoint one or more confidential advisors to whom complainants about alleged scientific misconduct or those suspected of doing so can turn.
It is proposed to set up a National Body for Scientific Integrity (LOWI), which will be housed at the KNAW. The LOWI will play a role 'in second instance' by issuing an opinion, at the request of the complainant or accused, about the way in which an institution has handled a complaint.Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen, 2001
