Research Ethics in the Life Sciences

By Phd Michael J Kuhar and Michael J. Kuhar

This book is a guide to the high ethical standards required to carry out research in the life sciences. It is designed mainly for beginning scientists such as medical and graduate students, but it will be useful for other researchers as well, perhaps as a reference work. It covers the standard topics such as human and animal experimentation, misconduct, conflicts of interest, confidentiality, data management, and mentoring. It also contains chapters on the new NIH guidelines to enhance reproducibility, and on co-worker ethics, a topic that is often overlooked. While this guide is not an extensive review of the literature, it does include many additional references for exploring a variety of topics further. This book is essential not only for complying with ethical standards, but also for producing the highest quality research results.
