Public trust in research and its output is essential for a healthy modern society. Although the research enterprise is self-correcting, this self-regulation occasionally needs help. Over the years, research institutions, professional societies, and governments have established several protocols, codes of conduct, norms, and principles to enhance that trust in research institutions, funders, producers, publishers, and products. (Guidance Document GOOD ACADEMIC RESEARCH PRACTICES, September 2020, University Grants Commission- UGC) If the aim of a PhD is to develop the skills of a professional academic researcher, how should you go about it?
