Research Misconduct

Lancaster University is committed to the highest standards of research integrity and takes any concerns raised about the conduct of research undertaken by any staff or students very seriously.‌

The Procedure for investigating misconduct in research outlines the process that we follow, when we receive any allegations of research misconduct.

All concerns or complaints about potential research misconduct will be reviewed in the first instance by our Interim Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Research and Enterprise, Professor Malcolm Joyce.

A copy of our research misconduct policy can be found here: Research Misconduct Policy.

Contact details are below for raising a complaint.

We fully investigate all allegations of research misconduct to ensure we maintain our culture of excellent research integrity.
