Scientific Misconduct

KIT also offers support and structures to address scientific misconduct:

If scientific misconduct is suspected, a formal investigation procedure can be initiated via the Ombudspersons for Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice. If the suspicion is substantiated, they will forward the case to the Commission for Good Scientific Practice.

The Ombudspersons for Doctoral Researchers and Supervisors will be happy to assist you with any problems you may encounter in resarch and writing as well as supervising doctoral theses. The Ombudspersons for Ethical Principles provide support with questions about KIT's ethical principles and applications for a vote of the Ethics Committee.
