Good to know

If only I had known...

Some questions only come up when there's a problem or the supervision does not go well. Here are the most important things about good scientific practice, authorship, accident insurance and scholarships. And above all: Who owns the data?

Good scientific practice

What does that even mean? Can I read about it somewhere? Is there also bad scientific practice?
Here you will find a summary of the most important information.

Authorship

As a doctoral researcher, can I also be an author? But I only contributed a few illustrations, does that count? Here you will find information on who qualifies as an author and what a good agreement on authorship can look like.

Who owns the data?

But surely it's me! Isn't it? There's copyright law. Does that apply to my data? Answers to these and other questions can be found here.

German Act on Fixed-Term Scientific Contracts (WissZV Gesetz)

The German Act on Fixed-Term Scientific Contracts regulates how long doctoral candidates can be employed as academic staff. To avoid unpleasant surprises, here is some information and links.

Funding & Scholarships

And how do I finance my doctorate? I just need a little financial injection. Is there any support for me? And what about childcare? Here we are at your side with advice.

Citing Rules

What do I have to consider when citing sources? The University and State Library (ULB) offers citation advice, among other things. You can find information on their services here.
