The Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty (DCSD) deal with complaints regarding dishonesty in research.
A case can be brought as a complaint or it is possible, as well, to apply to have a case processed in order to be cleared of accusations that might have been made.
Each of the three committees comprises one chair and six members.
The members are recognised researchers who have been officially appointed by the Danish Minister for Science, Technology and Innovation after hearings conducted by the Danish Council for Independent Research.
The joint chair for the three committees is a high court judge who is appointed by the Minister.
