At the Academic Medical Centre (AMC) of the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, it was decided to set up a research code committee. The first thing that was done was to define what were considered the most relevant types of scientific misconduct: falsification, plagiarism and invasion of privacy. The committee decided that prevention is better than cure and therefore developed a guideline for desirable behaviour, i.e. how to act scientifically with care and integrity, instead of a guideline on what not to do. The committee also proposed an ombudsman whose services are available to all participants in research in the AMC, and to whom misconduct can be reported. The research code is a loose-leaf system, since new issues will come to the fore and included issues will need to be changed. This committee has created a code that provides a firm basis for scientific integrity within the AMC.
在荷兰阿姆斯特丹大学学术医疗中心（AMC），决定成立一个研究行为准则委员会。首先要做的是界定被视为最相关的科研不端行为类型：伪造、抄袭和侵犯隐私。委员会认为预防胜于补救，因此制定了一份关于理想行为的指南，即如何谨慎且诚信地开展科研工作，而非一份关于禁止行为的指南。委员会还提议设立一名监察员，AMC所有研究参与者均可使用其服务，科研不端行为可向其举报。研究行为准则是一个活页系统，因为新问题会不断涌现，已纳入的问题也需要修改。该委员会制定了一项准则，为AMC内部的科研诚信提供了坚实基础。
