In the field of scientific research, there are different customs and traditions in different countries and disciplines. However, the scientific standards, i.e. the intellectual and formal standards of scientific work, are universal. They derive directly from the basic principles of scientific work and therefore are binding everywhere. This workshop presents the intellectual and formal standards of scientific work as they are relevant in the fields of law, social sciences and related sciences, with a special focus on formal standards, in particular the art of scientific citing. All interested lecturers, young researchers, doctoral students and master students are welcome!
In English, with translation into Romanian by Dr. Ana Gorea.
