The Ombudsman's Office at the Johannes Kepler University Linz considers itself an initial point of contact for researchers who wish to report allegations regarding scientific misconduct. Each individual is morally responsible for integrity in research and science, upholding a minimum standard of scientific integrity. Maintaining confidentiality and preserving dignity are paramount.

The Vice-Rectorate for Research and International Affairs is responsible for the Ombudsman's Office.

The office is located at the Vice-Rectorate for Research. Kindly send your request per e-mail to: ombudsstelle-wissenschaft(at)jku.at, or send your message directly to the Vice-Rector for Research and International Affairs, or the Dean at the Faculty in your subject area. Your request will then be forwarded to the chairperson of the ombudsman for further processing.

The Johannes Kepler University Linz is a member of the Austrian Agency for Scientific Integrity (OeAWI). Inquiries can, of course, also be sent directly to the OeAWI.
