Guideline
FWF procedure in cases of suspected violation of the standards of good research practice
To ensure that both the interests of the complainant and the researcher concerned are taken into account.
A suspected violation of the standards of good research practice is raised by a person (complainant) concerning a scientist/scholar (researcher concerned) who is (allegedly) involved in a Der Wissenschaftsfonds (FWF) application or an FWF project. As an independent body, the FWF ensures that both the interests of the complainant and the researcher concerned are taken into account. This means that all the information is followed up on and examined in such a way as to avoid encouraging any premature judgments. The person responsible for research integrity and research ethics at the FWF is notified and documents the suspected case in a database.
