Up until now, it has been possible to submit incident reports to the DFG Head Office on research misconduct related to DFG-funded research/activities – as well as other types of misconduct – via the usual channels of e-mail, telephone, fax and the postal service.
Effective immediately, these channels will be supplemented by the DFG’s electronic Research Integrity Incident Reporting System (link) – a web-based platform that can be used via internet browsers on computers, tablets and smartphones.
