Aalto University follows a self-regulation framework, which is based on the national guidelines on the identification and investigation of research integrity (RI) violations. You can find help in question related to research integrity from research integrity advisers.
RI Guidelines have been updated in 2023. Transitional provisions of RI Guidelines 2023 will be applied for the violations and allegations during the transition period:
The allegation of misconduct cannot be made anonymously and all documents relating to the handling of a case of misconduct are public. Allegation of misconduct within Aalto University is to be sent to htk@aalto.fi (post address Kirjaamo, PL 11000) and addressed to the president of Aalto University.
Allegations concerning possible research integrity violations are handled in Aalto University in three phases: 1) submitting a notification and making the decision whether the process is initiated 2) preliminary inquiry and reasoned, written decision by the president 3) possible investigation proper by investigation committee and reasoned, written decision by the president. Whenever the process is concluded in the university (phases 1-3), parties may request a statement by TENK.​
There are templates available for announcing a suspect of misconduct. You can find more information and upload the templates from here:
