TENK's statement summaries

Last updated 7.6.2024

On this page you can search summaries of statements issued by the Finnish National Board on Research Integrity TENK concerning allegations of violations of research integrity (RI).

Allegations of RI violations are always investigated within the organisation in which the suspected violation occurred or where the person against whom the allegation is made was working when it occurred. Once the allegation has first been addressed under the organisation’s RI process, the party dissatisfied with the ruling may request a statement from TENK. 

TENK restricts its statement to questions of research integrity. Therefore its statements only state whether an RI investigation has been performed in accordance with the RI guidelines and whether there has been a violation of responsible conduct of research.

Direct references to involved parties and the organisations where the allegation in question was handled have been removed from the summaries. Summaries can be used e.g. for educational purposes under a CC BY license.
