Anonymous reporting of suspected scientific or scholarly misconduct/misuse of funds
Although the instances of verifiable scientific or scholarly misconduct during the past ten years have remained small in number, they have been highly publicized. This has, understandably, led to increased concern regarding this issue within the scientific community, academic institutions, federal agencies and the general public. As a result, federal agencies have mandated that those institutions engaged in federally funded research and related activities initiate formal policies and procedures for dealing with allegations of misconduct.
University of Detroit Mercy has created policies and procedures for investigating allegations of scientific or scholarly misconduct. These apply to all members of the University community. The policies also inform the University of Detroit Mercy scientific community of their responsibilities regarding misconduct.
