學術倫理案件的負責人，主要職責為受理和處理疑似違反學術倫理與研究誠信案件之行政流程，以及對所有的不當研究行為進行充分且公正的回應，並遵守所屬單位的調查報告要求以完成報告。通常於學術倫理案件受理後，會先進行初步評估，包括釐清是否屬於所屬規範中所定義之不當研究行為，是否具有構成不當研究行為的要件，以及是否為莫須有的指控。一旦研究倫理專員認為該案件確實涉及不當研究行為或具有構成不當研究行為的要件，學術倫理專員便會籌組委員會以進行調查與確認。

1. A research integrity officer (RIO) serves a complex, exacting, and unique role within their institution. In one week, they may serve as judge, mediator, counselor, teacher, and regulations manager. They could have the Centers for Disease Control on the phone while a graduate student cries in their office. The RIO is one of the most intricate and unique positions in academia.
2. Research integrity officers (RIOs) play an important role in maintaining standards of research and activities related to research such as publishing. The immediate role of the RIO is to serve his or her institution, but such individuals are also involved in maintenance of community standards.
