  1. The first rule is clarity. In other words, the researcher has to share the data, materials, equipment, resources and findings he/she uses with society. Be open to criticism and new ideas.
  2. Integrity and truth: The researcher should not fabricate, steal from, or misinterpret his findings. It should report results, methods, and procedures accurately and not mislead colleagues, sponsors and the public. If he is abusing research, this is also an act against scientific ethics.
  3. The researcher should not harm the object or subject he is interested in. Accordingly, the researcher should respect people's privacy and secrets and should not use personal names unless permitted in their research. In addition, the researcher should not hide his identity.
  4. Intellectual property: Patents, copyrights and other intellectual property must be respected. Unauthorized data, methods and results should not be used and the contributors must be cited.
  5. Confidentiality: Confidential communications, personnel records, trade and military secrets, and patient records must be protected.
  6. Being objective: Biased experimental design, data analysis and interpretation should be avoided.
  7. Integrity and consistency should be ensured.
  8. Errors and omissions due to carelessness should be prevented by serious scrutiny of the work from start to finish.
  9. Social responsibility: Research that may cause social damage should be avoided.
  10. Discrimination: There should be no discrimination by using gender, race, origin or other factors that are not related to scientific authority and integrity.
  11. Relevant laws must be known and followed.
