A new interactive online Portal (see it here) has recently been launched to support victims and other people who have suffered from misconduct and questionable practices in research and education (e.g. work plagiarised, not recognised as an author in a publication, whistleblower, victim of abuse, etc.).

People who have experienced misconduct and questionable practices in research and education will be offered guidance on the actions to take according to the nature of their case. Moreover, with permission from the victim, after appropriate anonymisation of any personal information, details of cases can be shared on the Portal, allowing others to comment and provide guidance.

The Victims Support Portal has no geographical barriers. Anyone can post their query in any language. In fact, the main aim of this Portal is to expand and support people from all over the world. 

Speak up against misconduct and questionable practices in research and education! Spread the word about this Portal! And if you have appropriate expertise, please join us in our supporting network. Feel free to email us at: victims@academicintegrity.eu if you want to find out more. If you seek help with a case of misconduct or questionable practice in research and education, then please post the details of your case via the Portal.
