5. Rules and regulations

The board has approved the Code of conduct for research integrity and good research practices at Oslo National Academy of the Arts.

The primary purpose of this Code of conduct is to help realise this responsibility and to serve the research community as a framework for self-regulation.

It describes professional, ethical and legal responsibilities.

See the Code of conduct here .

The Researcher must respect the participants' autonomy, integrity, freedom and right of co-determination.

This applies to both:

• Research and personal data - Personal Data Act
• Privacy and research ethics

See further guidelines for this under the section «5. Appendix: Research and privacy»

To help ensure this, Oslo National Academy of the Arts has an agreement with the Norwegian Centre for Research Data (NSD) to support The Academy and researchers in this area. The agreement gives access to a platform and a registry that can the researcher identifying potential issues between the project and personal data. NSD will also evaluate whether it is necessary to carry out a privacy impact assessment (DPIA) for the project and, if so, assist with this.

When a project will involve personal data, the researcher responsible (project leader) must register the project in advance before project start to ensure that artistic research and research is carried out in accordance with the Personal Data Act.

The requirement for documentation of the results of KUF-work is that the documentation makes it possible for your colleagues to follow the project's working method and the insight that is generated from the KUF-work.

The Research Committee has drawn up a guide for faculty members, which highlights examples of good documentation of the results of artistic research, and which summarizes the main features that characterize good documentation of results. See guidance here (in Norwegian).

All artistic research results must be archived and registered. Results are archived in the Oslo National Academy of the Arts' institutional repository. Registration of artistic research results is done in the national research information system of Norway (CRISTin).

Oslo National Academy of the Arts has guidelines for following up possible breaches on research integrity, good research practice and allegations of misconduct. The guidelines also specify when – as part of the process – a statement from the joint committee of research integrity must be collected.
