Physics associations such as the German Physical Society, the European Physical Society and the American Physical Society offer opportunities for regular dialogue on discipline-specific aspects of good research practice.

The relevant websites provide information on ethics guidelines (American Physical Society (APS) – Ethics Standards(externer Link)), for example, as well as press releases relating to developments in good research practice in physics (German Physical Society – good research practice in physics(externer Link), in German only).

Specifically, recommendations issued by the Conference of Physics Departments (KFP) are listed as a guide so as to contribute to discussion on the further development of ethical standards in research (Konferenz der Fachbereiche Physik – Empfehlung: Gute wissenschaftliche Praxis bei wissenschaftlichen Qualifikationsarbeiten in der Physik(externer Link), in German only).
