Principles of Research Integrity

The IHS is member of the Austrian Agency for Scientific Integrity (ÖAWI) and, as an independent, non-university research institute, is committed to upholding the principles of good scientific practice.

To ensure transparency, independence, and traceability of studies and research findings, a Memorandum of Understanding was developed in collaboration with Austrian research institutions and in coordination with the ÖAWI. This document outlines the shared understanding of the principles of scientific integrity for commissioned studies, providing guidance for staff and clients to conduct projects in accordance with the highest standards of integrity.

IHS is a signatory of the Berlin Declaration of Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities.
