This form allows any person to submit an anonymous allegation of research misconduct against Dublin City University (DCU) staff members, students and all those officially engaged in research work at DCU and/or undertaking any research activity in DCU's name (including visiting researchers).
While DCU will accept anonymous allegations of
research misconduct, it is likely to be limited in its ability to conduct related inquiries
where there is no named complainant. Allegations which are anonymous or where
there is no specific complainant will only be considered at the discretion of
the Research Integrity Officer (RIO), taking into account the seriousness of
the concerns raised and the likelihood of confirming the concerns from
alternative and credible sources/evidence.
Allegations of research misconduct shall be investigated in accordance with the DCU Research Integrity Policy and the associated Procedures for responding to allegations of research
misconduct:
If you would like to submit a formal allegation which is not anonymous, or if you would like to discuss your allegation initially in confidence before making an official allegation, you may do so by emailing
coo@dcu.ie.
