What consequences are imposed by an institution when a researcher commits plagiarism?
Different institutions have different policies in place; however, it is the duty of the author's institute to conduct a detailed investigation if there are allegations of plagiarism or any other form of misconduct. If the author/researcher is found guilty is confirmed, depending on the nature and extent of misconduct, one of more of the following actions may be taken by the institute:


At first, appropriate steps are taken to correct the damage
Letters of reprimand may be sent to the guilty persons
Sanctions are imposed on them
Their work may be closely monitored to ensure compliance with the funders' policies and publication ethics
The institute informs the funding agency and this can lead to suspension or termination of a grant
In extreme cases, the guilty person may be suspended or terminated from the institute
If copyright violations or fraud is involved, the institute sends the findings of the investigation to the appropriate agencies. The Office of Research Integrity (ORI) releases the names of people guilty of misconduct on its website. This can damage the reputation of the researcher, and he/she might be banned from submitting papers to journals for a certain period.
