University of
North Texas

The University of North Texas is committed to maintaining the integrity of the research process. Unless both researchers and research products adhere to the highest standards, the university cannot fulfill the research portion of its mission. This policy has been developed to ensure that individuals who deviate from those standards will be held accountable for their actions.

The policy also is designed to meet the requirements of U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Section 42, Part 50, and the assurances that the University of North Texas must provide to the Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services thereunder. Consequently, the requirements for reporting alleged or apparent instances of possible scientific misconduct to the Office of Scientific Integrity, National Institutes of Health, apply only when they involve research or research training, applications for support or research or research training, or related research activities that are supported with funds made available under the Public Health Service Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 201,et seq.).

This policy does not supersede and is not intended to set up an alternative to established policies and procedures for resolving fiscal improprieties, issues concerning the ethical treatment of human or animal subjects, or criminal matters.   To review the complete policy and procedures on scholarly misconduct, refer to the UNT Policy Manual, Vol. III, #16.12.3.6 and #16.12.3.6.1.
