Whistleblowers irked as fishy research probe finds no misconduct

Hi, If I understood this correctly, Dr Lönnstedt was a PhD student during the studies that have triggered the scientific misconduct investigations? If so, how come her supervisor is not investigated? To me this speaks of gross negligence in supervision.

This article has links to the full JCU report, which is worth reading in its entirety. The Inquiry delimited the scope of the investigation to exclude evidence. Then it parsed the Code of Responsible Conduct of Research to hone in on the word, "intent" as the essential ingredient of any possible finding of misconduct. The report details severe and unexplained data anomalies, ethics violations and actions that would probably be deemed research misconduct by most researchers. Going by what is described in this report as the state of JCU marine research, JCU has much bigger problems than this single case of not research misconduct.
