Answer:To have a misconduct finding, the action must have been committed intentionally,

Explanation:

Federal policy defines research misconduct as "fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results." This definition does not include honest error or differences of opinion or authorship disputes unless they involve plagiarism.

Therefore, any act of misconduct finding must have been committed intentionally when regarding to the US Federal research misconduct policy.
