Legal rights of accused scientists

What is this about?

When scientists are accused of misconduct, then their legal rights may be encroached upon.

Why is this important?

It is important that the principles of proportionality and due process are respected in investigations of misconduct. Otherwise this may lead to erroneous judgments of integrity commissions, or unfair punishments. Moreover, scientists, as citizens, have legal rights, and if these are not respected in self-regulatory investigations, then cases of alleged misconduct will increasingly be handled by the courts.

For whom is this important?
