- withdrawal or correction of all pending or published abstracts and papers emanating from the research where scientific misconduct was found.
- oval of the responsible person from the particular project, letter of reprimand, special monitoring of future work, probation, suspension, salary reduction, or initiation of steps leading to possible rank reduction or termination of employment.
