Misconduct

UNH's Misconduct Policy defines misconduct in scholarly activity as:

  • Fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing scholarly activities, or in reporting results from scholarly activities
  • Retaliation of any kind against a person who has brought forth an allegation of misconduct or who has provided information about a suspected case of misconduct

Misconduct does NOT include honest error or differences in interpretations, judgments, or opinion with respect to scholarly issues.
