Misconduct in research
Researchers must always be honest in their results. A research must never distort, falsify, mislead or plagiarise. Cheating in research — known as dishonesty in research — can lead to humans and animals being exposed to risk. This in turn can mean that confidence in researchers and research is damaged.
Between 2002 and 2009 the Research Council had an expert group on misconduct in research which scrutinised matters on behalf of universities and colleges where misconduct in research was suspected. From the turn of the year 2009/2010 the expert group is discontinued and instead a new expert group is set up by the Central Ethical Review Board.
All research results must therefore be reported openly so that other researchers can check and repeat the research. Only then can the research be regarded as scientifically approved.
