Note on Scientific Integrity
About standards of scientific research and a National Body for Scientific Integrity (LOWI)
In this memorandum, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) state that the responsibility for the prevention and identification of scientific misconduct lies primarily with researchers and research institutions themselves. They believe it is desirable that every university, KNAW and NWO should appoint one or more confidential advisors to whom complainants about alleged scientific misconduct or those suspected of doing so can turn.
It is proposed to set up a National Body for Scientific Integrity (LOWI), which will be housed at the KNAW. The LOWI will play a role 'in second instance' by issuing an opinion, at the request of the complainant or accused, about the way in which an institution has handled a complaint.
