In determining whether an incident falls under this policy, an individual may refer to the definitions under this policy (e.g., authorship disputes and self-plagiarism do not fall under this policy) and review University of Nebraska Executive Memorandum No. 41, Policy on Research Data and Security (e.g., for questions regarding data ownership). If an individual is unsure whether the suspected incident falls within the definition of research misconduct, they may call the Research Integrity Officer to discuss the suspected misconduct informally, including anonymously or hypothetically. Such discussions shall ordinarily be confidential. If the circumstances do not meet the definition of research misconduct, the Research Integrity Officer or designee will refer the individual or allegation to other offices with responsibility for resolving the problem. | In determining whether an incident falls under this policy, an individual may refer to the definitions under this policy (e.g., authorship disputes and self-plagiarism do not fall under this policy) and review University of Nebraska Executive Memorandum No. 41, Policy on Research Data and Security (e.g., for questions regarding data ownership).

When allegations involve research conducted at multiple institutions, the Research Integrity Officer will communicate with the administrator charged with research integrity at the other institution(s). UNMC and the other institution(s) must determine whether a joint research misconduct proceeding will be conducted and, if so, designate one institution to serve as the lead institution. The lead institution will follow its research misconduct policies and procedures to conduct the proceeding as modified by the procedures included- immediately below in this paragraph as agreed to by the participating institutions. In a joint research misconduct proceeding, the lead institution should obtain research records and other evidence pertinent to the proceeding, including witness testimony, from the other relevant institution(s). By mutual agreement, the joint research misconduct proceeding may include committee members from the institutions involved. The determination of whether further inquiry and/or investigation is warranted, whether research misconduct occurred, and the institutional actions to be taken may be made by the institutions jointly or tasked to the lead institution. | When allegations involve research conducted at multiple institutions, the Research Integrity Officer will communicate with the administrator charged with research integrity at the other institution(s).
