The Vice President for Research (VPR), who is the universitys research integrity officer (RIO), initially assesses the reported incident to determine if it constitutes a good faith allegation of research misconduct. This initial assessment shall be completed within 30 business days of the receipt of the report or the event giving rise to the report. In the event circumstances prevent the VPR from completing the assessment within that time frame, the VPR shall document the reasons for the delay and complete the assessment as soon as is practical.. After receiving an allegation of research misconduct, the VPR, in consultation with the appropriate University official(s), shall assess the allegation to determine if it meets the definition of research misconduct, and also that the allegation is sufficiently credible and specific so potential evidence of the alleged research misconduct may be identified.. If the VPR determines that continuing an Inquiry is not warranted, the VPR shall so inform the ...
Allegations of scientific misconduct (fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism) must be considered carefully vis-à-vis rules of confidentiality. In cases of credible allegations of such misconduct, an editor may need to disclose specific confidential information in a very controlled and limited manner. For example, after a credible allegation of scientific misconduct, an editor may need to contact an authors or a reviewers relevant institutional, funding, or governmental authority (eg, an academic president, dean, or ethics/integrity officer) to request a formal investigation. In this situation, the editor will need to identify the person about whom the allegation was made. This is best done

Each year, the University receives details of a wide range of concerns relating to research integrity. The University considers such concerns under the framework of the Policy on misconduct in research.. A significant number of the concerns raised can be dealt with through competency, education, and training mechanisms following an Initial Assessment as part of the research misconduct process. In the 2018-2019 academic year, there were over 30 cases of potential misconduct in research which were managed through these mechanisms.. Occasionally, concerns are investigated by a Screening Panel as part of the research misconduct process. The Screening Panel may determine that there is insufficient evidence of misconduct in research; or that the concerns are mistaken, frivolous, vexatious and/or malicious.. Some research integrity concerns which are considered as part of the research misconduct process require Formal Investigation by a Formal Investigation panel as part of the later stages of the ...

To determine the clinical effectiveness of statins on cardiovascular mortality in practice, observational studies are needed. Control for confounding is essential in any observational study. Falsification end-points may be useful to determine if bias is present after adjustment has taken place. We followed starters on statin therapy in the Netherlands aged 46 to 100 years over the period 1996 to 2012, from initiation of statin therapy until cardiovascular mortality or censoring. Within this group (n = 49,688, up to 16 years of follow-up), we estimated the effect of adherence to statin therapy (0 = completely non-adherent, 1 = fully adherent) on ischemic heart diseases and cerebrovascular disease (ICD10-codes I20-I25 and I60-I69) as well as respiratory and endocrine disease mortality (ICD10-codes J00-J99 and E00-E90) as falsification end points, controlling for demographic factors, socio-economic factors, birth cohort, adherence to other cardiovascular medications, and diabetes using time-varying Cox

Research Integrity. Faculty, staff and student of the University community engaging in research should adhere to the highest standard of ethics and Research Integrity. This is to ensure that the reputation of the University for scholarly integrity is preserved.. Research Integrity includes the rigour, care and accountability that are the hallmarks of good scholarship and is not merely the avoidance of wrongdoing. Research Misconduct by the University community, defined as fabrication, falsification, plagiarism or other wrongdoing in proposing, designing, performing, recording, supervising or reviewing research, or in reporting research results is unacceptable and is grounds for disciplinary action.. Research Data Management Policy. There is a need to design and adopt policies on the management of research data, to ensure that valuable data are not lost. Such a policy also provides a basis to answer allegations of research misconduct or questions about the results obtained. It also assists in the ...

The Office of Research Integrity is responsible for protecting the integrity of PHS extramural and intramural research programs, with the exception of the regulatory research activities of the Food and Drug Administration. ORI carries out its responsibility by: developing and promulgating policies, procedures, rules and regulations; providing workshops, conferences, and educational materials on the responsible conduct of research and the promotion of research integrity; conducting (or funding) evaluations and research studies on research integrity and research misconduct; administering an assurances program; reviewing investigations conducted by applicant or awardee institutions; conducting investigations at applicant or awardee institutions and in the PHS intramural research programs; presenting misconduct findings in adminstrative hearings before the HHS Departmental Appeals Board (DAB); and promoting scientific integrity.. ...
Research integrity has two aspects that partially overlap. Firstly, there is integrity of the scientific literature, namely its freedom from errors, and secondly, the integrity of the researchers themselves, i.e. whether they act fairly and honestly. Failures of either can reduce the reproducibility of science, reduce its efficiency, waste funding, and have negative impacts on the scientists themselves, as well as, in some cases, their research subjects.. In the life sciences, statistician John Ioannidis has shown that study design and external pressures mean most published research findings are likely to be false, and drug makers Bayer and Amgen reported that 75% and 89% of preclinical findings could not be repeated. The number of published retractions is growing at an accelerating rate, and in most cases, the cause for the retraction is attributed to misconduct.. Three reasons are commonly evoked to explain how the errors that prevent reproducibility arise. They can be caused by bad luck or ...

Two high-profile cases in which universities - who by US law are the ones that must open an investigation into misconduct - stonewalled the effort.
Nearly once a week, on average, a Honolulu police officer is disciplined for misconduct. Yet the details of that bad behavior are never publicly revealed. More than a quarter of those incidents can be classified as criminal behavior - assaults, domestic violence, fleeing the scene of an accident, even criminal convictions. Civil Beat used annual summaries of misconduct provided to the Legislature by the Honolulu Police Department to compile 20 years of disciplinary action into an interactive database. Recent years include more information about officer misconduct, including whether an incident was sent to prosecutors or a disciplinary action was challenged by the union.. ...

Excellent exposition Joan. Factual and intelligent as usual but I am very impressed you had the courage to call this misconduct as it surely is. I feel strongly we must do something to correct the nonsense he has published and I am also very worried about his current venoplasty study. I fear for the safety of anyone who signs up. This man does not believe CCSVI exists and has demonstrated he doesnt know how to identify it. So how will he know where to place his balloons? Just pick a random spot in the IJV? Thats more or less what would happen if he used his test for narrowing. And how will he size the balloons? He refuses to speak to IRs with experience who do know how to do it. It is well known that beginners are prone to both over and under inflate. He is going to do damage and/or fail to achieve anything worthwhile. He will call his ignorant butchery a triumph and then say venoplasty is worthless and wash his hands of the mess he has made. I think there is real danger here and he needs to ...
There are two fundamental issues here.. One is scientific misconduct that outrages the individual scientists because we are all trying to make careers and honest science is difficult. Those who cheat with duplicate publications, faked Western blots, etc, are hated simply because they are attempting to get an unfair advantage over those who struggle honestly to make a contribution, publish in a high quality journal, get a grant, tenure, etc. Its a further outrage when journals, universities, and other organizations sometimes seem to turn a blind eye.. The other issue is scientific progress. Here it is not obvious that misconduct is as harmful as might be thought. Honesty and integrity in any individual publication is actually not important in the long term. A paper is valid not because it can be proven to have been done honestly, but because further work, by other people in related fields, yields results that are consistent. Your integrity matters not at all in determining whether the theories ...
The implication is that research misconduct is a bad-apple problem… More evidence that the study was under the control of Pfizer, rather than of Dr Neumeister, could be inferred from the problems Ms Ruffcorn had in determining whether she had taken the drug or placebo.. Conclusion. So it seems that in this case a study which may not have been conducted according to research standards was likely a pharmaceutical sponsored, designed, and controlled Phase II trial done as part of an effort to seek approval for a new drug. Hence this case was not only about allegations of individual research misconduct, but about yet more problems with the implementation of commercially controlled human experiments designed to ultimately further marketing as well as science. Yet none of the public discussion so far of this case was about whether Pfizer had any responsibilities to assure the quality of the research in which it was so involved, much less whether interactions between the company, the university ...

Recent scandals and controversies-such as the falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism of data in federally funded science; the manipulation and distortion of research sponsored by private companies; human embryonic stem cell research; cloning; and the patenting of DNA and cell lines-illustrate the importance of ethics in scientific research. This book provides an introduction and overview of many of the social, ethical, and legal issues facing scientists today. The book includes chapters on research misconduct, conflicts of interest, data management, mentoring, authorship, peer review, publication, intellectual property, research with human subjects, research with animal subjects, genetic and stem cell research, international research, and ethical decision making. The book also features dozens of real and hypothetical cases for discussion and analysis and introduces the reader to important research regulations and guidelines. Now in its second edition, this book synthesizes the diverse talents and
Scientific misconduct is defined as intention or gross negligence leading to fabrication of the scientific message or a false credit or emphasis given to a scientist. The editorial board members should inform institutions if they suspect misconduct by their researchers, and provide evidence to support these concerns, such as analysis of text similarity in cases of suspected plagiarism, or evidence of inappropriate image manipulation. They should cooperate with investigations and respond to institutions questions about misconduct allegations. They should be prepared to issue retractions or corrections when provided with findings of misconduct arising from investigations. They should correct or retract findings that are invalid or unreliable, both when caused by misconduct and by honest errors. Publications should be retracted if they are evidenced to be generally unreliable, while on the other hand a correction should be made in cases where only a small part of the publication is affected while ...
Posted on 11/19/2019 1:42:12 PM PST by Yo-Yo. Full title: Russia case agent Strzok cited for misconduct, security violation and exceptionally poor judgment in FBI memos This summer, ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok filed a lawsuit suggesting his firing was political retribution for having run the bureau s counterintelligence investigation into the now debunked allegations that Donald Trump and Russia colluded to hijack the 2016 election. The Justice Department has responded to the lawsuit in a big way, releasing to the court presiding over the civil case Strzok s official misconduct file that concluded the former FBI supervisor exhibited a gross lack of professionalism and exceptionally poor judgment. It shows the FBI substantiated that Strzok had engaged in dereliction of duty, had committed misconduct through the expression of anti-Trump bias on his official FBI phone and committed security violations by performing official government work on personal email. The records show one official ...
Sept. 17, 2019) -- The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) today announced a groundbreaking partnership to strengthen its zero-tolerance policy for its campus community. Working with Brenda Tracy, a sexual assault survivor, public speaker and founder of the national campaign and nonprofit, SetTheExpectation, UTSA will be the first university in the nation to implement the Tracy Rule, the most comprehensive Serious Misconduct rule in the NCAA.. The UTSA Tracy Rule, effective this semester, will attach student-athlete eligibility to behavior. The rule ensures that:. A current or prospective student-athlete who has been convicted of, pleaded guilty or no contest to a felony or misdemeanor involving Serious Misconduct, has been found a delinquent in relationship to a juvenile code equivalent, or has been disciplined by the university or athletic department at any time during enrollment at any collegiate institution (excluding temporary disciplinary action during an investigation) due to ...

Editor: Rich, what kinds of corporate fraud and misconduct are most prevalent in your experience at KMPG, considering were coming off one of the worst economic slumps in memory? Girgenti: Corporate fraud and misconduct has evolved over the last decade. Going back to 2000 and 2001, we were plagued with a rash of financial reporting crimes, followed by major reforms embodied in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the amended Sentencing Guidelines. In light of these reforms, the story for the first decade of the 21st century might have been one of weathering a crisis.. However, in 2008-2009, the financial crisis hit. Even with all of the reforms before and during the current economic slump, we continued to experience major forms of corporate misconduct and fraud. However, the more recent episodes are somewhat different than what we had seen in the earlier part of the last decade.. With the economic crisis came the unraveling of a number of fairly infamous Ponzi schemes, including Stanford and Madoff. In ...

Sexual harassment creates a sexually hostile environment if the conduct is sufficiently serious that it denies or limits the ability to participate in or benefit from a University program. A variety of related factors determine if a sexually hostile environment has been created and the conduct in question is considered from both an objective and subjective perspective. Factors examined include the type of harassment; the frequency and severity of the misconduct; the age, sex, and relationship of the individuals involved; the setting and context in which the harassment occurred; and other relevant factors. The more severe the conduct, the less need there is to show a repetitive series of incidents to prove hostile environment, particularly if the harassment is physical. A single or isolated instance of sexual violence may create a hostile environment ...
Hans-Gustaf Ljunggren Dean of Research Jan Carlstedt-Duke Senior Adviser, Rectorate. RE: A New Investigation of Misconduct in Research on Artificial Tracheae To initiate an investigation to find new evidence is a diversion tactic with the ambition to trick the media and the general public that the threshold of scientific misconduct has only now been surpassed by the information revealed in the Swedish Television documentary Experimenten. The truth is that what was described in our Appeal for an Investigation and in the Amendment to the Appeal filed nearly 1½ year ago (Aug 18, 2014 and Sep 24, 2014, Dnr 2-2184/2014) was more than sufficient to prove misconduct on the part of Prof Macchiarini. The independent external expert Prof Gerdin confirmed this in his initial review of the case eight months ago (May 13, 2015). When Prof Gerdin reviewed the information that was submitted after his report was filed, he found no new evidence that could absolve Prof Macchiarini of the charges made against ...
But sadly this culture is here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future. What can we do to curb its worst excesses? The paper points to encouraging solutions like the Office of Research Integrity and regular courses on ethics and data presentation. There are few counterparts to these measures in developing countries and this needs to be taken seriously by their governments. More importantly, researchers, journal editors and referees need to be taught both the value and the methodology of honest research from day one of their careers. They also need to be taught means of detecting fraud and plagiarism, a task which has been rendered somewhat easier by technology and software for detecting duplication and possible manipulation. The authors also suggest the creation of a centralized database of scientific misconduct. Its worth noting that in its own way Retraction Watch has admirably served this purpose. Finally, the study points to a great responsibility on the part of journals and ...
Abstract:A detailed review of all 2,047 biomedical and life-science research articles indexed by PubMed as retracted on May 3, 2012 revealed that only 21.3% of retractions were attributable to error. In contrast, 67.4% of retractions were attributable to misconduct, including fraud or suspected fraud (43.4%), duplicate publication (14.2%), and plagiarism (9.8%). Incomplete, uninformative or misleading retraction announcements have led to a previous underestimation of the role of fraud in the ongoing retraction epidemic. The percentage of scientific articles retracted because of fraud has increased ∼10-fold since 1975. Retractions exhibit distinctive temporal and geographic patterns that may reveal underlying causes. | my universe
Imperial Tobacco launched a legal challenge in Australias High Court on Tuesday against new laws forcing tobacco products to be sold in plain packaging from next year, becoming the third tobacco giant to do so.
Invalid science consists of scientific claims based on experiments that cannot be reproduced or that are contradicted by experiments that can be reproduced. Recent analyses indicate that the proportion of invalid claims in the scientific literature is steadily increasing. The number of retractions has grown tenfold over the past decade, but they still make up approximately 0.2% of the 1.4m papers published annually in scholarly journals. The U.S. Office of Research Integrity (ORI), investigates scientific misconduct. Science magazine ranked first for the number of articles retracted at 70, just edging out PNAS, which retracted 69. Thirty-two of Sciences retractions were due to fraud or suspected fraud, and 37 to error. A subsequent retraction index indicated that journals with relatively high impact factors, such as Science, Nature and Cell, had a higher rate of retractions. Under 0.1% of papers in PubMed had were retracted of more than 25 million papers going back to the 1940s. The fraction ...

Launch Inaccuracies in technological papers have got many causes. Some total derive from honest errors, such as for example incorrect calculations, usage of the incorrect reagent, or improper technique (1). Others are intentional and constitute analysis misconduct, including circumstances where data are changed, omitted, manufactured, or misrepresented in a genuine method that matches a desired final result.

Date: 24 May 2010. Dr Andrew Jeremy WAKEFIELD. Determination on Serious Professional Misconduct (SPM) and sanction:. The Panel has already given its findings on the facts and its reasons for determining that the facts as found proved could amount to serious professional misconduct. It then went on to consider and determine whether, under Rule 29(1) of the General Medical Council Preliminary Proceedings Committee and Professional Conduct Committee (Procedure) Rules Order of Council 1988, the facts as admitted or found proved do amount to serious professional misconduct and if so, what, if any sanction it should impose. It has accepted the Legal Assessors advice in full as to the approach to be taken in this case, and has looked at each doctors case separately but, when considering whether Dr Wakefield is guilty of serious professional misconduct, has looked at the heads of charge found proved against him as a whole. It has not confined its consideration to the heads of charge; it has also had ...

In 2004, an article in the Journal of the New York Entomological Society claimed that individuals with delusory parasitosis actually suffer from collembola infestations. The article has been critiqued for poor methodology and results that contradict all knowledge about collembolans. Less easily accounted for has been a figure in the article purporting to show a collembolan in a skin scraping. The image appears to have been altered using photo manipulation software to an unacceptable degree, and this paper demonstrates that to be the case. The altered figure represents creation of nonexistent data, a form of scientific misconduct. Whether the deception is deliberate or a product of an otherwise well-meaning author ignorant of the limits of acceptable image manipulation is unknown, but the result is peer-reviewed support for a conclusion that complicates patient treatment. In the current era of computers, even regional entomology journals must have detailed standards for what kind of images and ...

Plagiarism occurs when academic integrity principles are not followed. Plagiarism can take a range of forms, from accidental through to deliberate actions. Accidental plagiarism might occur if you run out of time to write an assignment and neglect to put references in your work. Deliberate plagiarism, also known as academic misconduct, might involve paying someone else to write your assignment for you, or cheating to pass an exam. Figure 1 shows the scale of accidental through to deliberate acts of plagiarism.

High-throughput proteomics techniques, such as mass spectrometry (MS)-based approaches, produce very high-dimensional data-sets. In a clinical setting one is often interested in how mass spectra differ between patients of different classes, for example spectra from healthy patients vs. spectra from patients having a particular disease. Machine learning algorithms are needed to (a) identify these discriminating features and (b) classify unknown spectra based on this feature set. Since the acquired data is usually noisy, the algorithms should be robust against noise and outliers, while the identified feature set should be as small as possible. We present a new algorithm, Sparse Proteomics Analysis (SPA), based on the theory of compressed sensing that allows us to identify a minimal discriminating set of features from mass spectrometry data-sets. We show (1) how our method performs on artificial and real-world data-sets, (2) that its performance is competitive with standard (and widely used) algorithms for
The editorial team of the International Trends Journal is fully aware that publication malpractices remain widely spread in the academic community. The most perceptible and reprehensible instances of misconduct include plagiarism, duplicate submission, misappropriation of research results, and fraud. We categorically denounce all these forms of malpractices as well as any other abuses of publication ethics.. We firmly believe that violations of both legal norms and moral standards not only are ethically inappropriate, but also impede development of scholarship and undermine authority of International Relations as an academic discipline. Therefore, we consider struggle against publication malpractices to be a joint responsibility of authors, editors, peer-reviewers, and readers. We urge all stakeholders to engage in continuous dialogue and information exchange on all instances of violation.. On our behalf, we ensure comprehensive approach to identification and elimination of ethical misconduct. ...
