LabArchives improve research management and efficiency, however they do not replace good management and supervision of staff and students. To lower the risk of research misconduct, please consider the following:

• All data should be recorded, handled and stored in a way that allows accurate reporting, interpretation and verification; 
• Assign appropriately trained and experienced individuals to ensure diligent supervision and monitoring of research projects. Avoid a heavy reliance on relatively junior or inexperienced staff and students to supervise complex projects and to analyze critical research results; 
• Check data, documentation and records of studies regularly; 
• Ensure that all study protocols and essential documentation (i.e., Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), ethics documentation etc.) are up-to-date and available to the research group to promote high-quality research practices; and 
• Ensure suitable back-up processes are in place at all times.
