STFC fellowships: rules and regulations
Scientific conduct
Institutions in receipt of research funding from STFC must have in place rules of good scientific practice which are made known to and are binding on all members of their staff. There must be reliable systems in place for the prevention of scientific misconduct (e.g. plagiarism, falsification of data), clearly defined arrangements for investigating allegations of scientific misconduct and procedures that are followed where the case is proven. If a STFC supported Fellow is suspected of scientific misconduct STFC must be informed immediately and advised of the outcome of the investigation.
