Standing Commission
Was sind die Aufgaben der Kommission zur Sicherung guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis?
Verdachtsfälle wissenschaftlichen Fehlverhaltens werden von den Ombudspersonen der Universität des Saarlandes bei Bedarf an die Kommission zur Sicherung guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis zur weiteren Prüfung weitergeleitet - unter Wahrung strikter Vertraulichkeit zum Schutz des Hinweisgebers und der betroffenen Personen. Auch eine anonyme Meldung wird in einem Verfahren geprüft, sofern der anonyme Hinweisgeber belastbare und hinreichend greifbare Fakten vorlegt.
How does the examination procedure operate?
If a preliminary examination substantiates the suspicion of scientific misconduct, a formal investigation procedure is opened by the Standing Commission. The Commission consults in a non-public, oral hearing and examines whether scientific misconduct has been committed by independently assessing the evidence.
Thereafter, the procedure can move forward in two directions: On the one hand, the procedure can be terminated if the Commission considers misconduct to be unverified. On the other hand, if the Commission deems misconduct to be substantiated, a suggestion for a decision can be drafted for the university's executive board. The suggested decision describes the specific misconduct and contains proposals to the university's executive board concerning the possible consequences under academic, labour or civil service law, disciplinary law, civil law or criminal law - depending on the severity of the misconduct.
