When you submit a paper or a PhD thesis you will typically be confronted with several responsible conduct of research-issues, RCR-issues. These are issues on open access requirements, data management, authorship issues, documentation of ethical and legal permissions, declaring your conflicts of interest, and etc. It is not always easy to navigate these issues. Below you find a checklist of things to remember/consider when you submit papers to scientific journals, and when you submit your PhD thesis. The list covers the most general RCR aspects of submission, but there might be RCR-issues not covered in the list. We hope you will find it helpful.
