About Compliance
The ethical conduct of research and project implementation is a responsibility of everyone. In addition to upholding professional standards and University expectations, we are required to comply with mandates from the federal government as well as funding sponsors. This section of the website provides details regarding those requirements by compliance area.
If you think someone has or is involved in academic misconduct, then you have a responsibility to report it. SIUE considers academic misconduct to include:
-
fabrication or falsification of data, including intentionally misleading or false reporting of credentials or other academically related information
-
plagiarism, breach of confidentiality with respect to unpublished material, violation of accepted standards regarding submission and publication of scholarly works, and other misrepresentations of originality
-
failure to comply with research regulations or requirements, including, but not limited to, those applying to human subjects, laboratory animals, biohazardous agents, and standards of safety
-
any other conduct which seriously conflicts with accepted ethical standards in research and scholarship.
See the Policy on Academic Integrity in Scholarship and Research - 1Q5 for expectations and procedures.
Please review policies, procedures, information, and tools herein. If you have questions or comments about these policies, please contact the coordinator of ethical compliance.
