The University takes concerns about research integrity very seriously. Complaints or allegations of research misconduct can be made to the Research Integrity team. The Research Integrity team manages formal complaints and allegations of research misconduct in line with the ANU Procedure: Research misconduct and serious research misconduct.
However, if you would like further information regarding responsible conduct of research at the University, Research Integrity Advisors are available to provide confidential advice to all University students and staff members.
Research Integrity Advisors play a key role in research ethics and integrity at the ANU. They promote the responsible conduct of research and provide advice to those with concerns about potential breaches of the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, 2018 and applicable ANU policies.
