1.4.3.2 Industry-academia: Research as collaboration
Background
The practices outlined below have been developed by a task force of academic and industry members of the EQIPD consortium.
These practices are intended to improve the traceability and integrity of the data obtained from the collaboration between [academic organization] and [industry partner]. They aim to: - facilitate decision-making, - minimize bias and errors in the collection, reporting or representation of such information, and - create reliable scientific and supporting evidence in resulting patents and other types of intellectual property as well as publications.
The experimental record and its thorough description is the ultimate source of information and documentation regarding the experiment. Therefore, the contents of the experimental record must be accurate and thorough enough to be fully traceable to permit the reproduction of the work conducted. The experimental record is the official data record for each experiment and the most important primary source of data. It is expected that the practices outlined in this document will be applied to experimental planning, record-keeping procedures and reporting, to the fullest extent possible. Both partners shall discuss any ambiguities or conflicts regarding these practices or proposals for further refinements prior to the start of the experiments to ensure alignment and understanding.
