- Abstract
This document provides a concise set of rules and guidelines for lead researchers conducting fieldwork in the natural sciences. The rules emphasize the importance of early planning, personnel decisions, training, safety, and creating a positive work environment. The document also highlights the need to consider social issues and potential hazards in the field, as well as the importance of data management and self-care. The rules are based on the authors' collective experience and aim to assist researchers with limited field experience in successfully conducting their field season.
