Research misconduct means fabrication, falsification or plagiarism in proposing, performing or reviewing research—or in reporting research results. All employees or individuals associated with Case Western Reserve University should report observed, suspected or apparent misconduct in research to the research integrity officer. If an individual is unsure whether a suspected incident falls within the definition of research misconduct, they may contact the research integrity officer to discuss the suspected misconduct informally.
