The Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research

<http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/publications/synopses/r39syn.htm>

"The Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research guides 
institutions and researchers in responsible research practices and 
promotes integrity in research for researchers. 

The Code shows how to manage breaches of the Code and allegations of 
research misconduct, how to manage research data and materials, how to 
publish and disseminate research findings, including proper attribution of 
authorship, how to conduct effective peer review and how to manage

Australian Research Council and Universities Australia, the Code has broad 
relevance across all research disciplines .." (snip)
