A fully updated textbook helping advanced students and young
scientists navigate the ethical challenges that are common to
scientific researchers in academia As the number of scientific
journals, government regulations, and institutional guidelines
continue to grow, research scientists are increasingly facing
ethical dilemmas. Even seasoned and honest scientists can
unintentionally commit research misconduct or fail to detect and
address intentional misbehavior. Research Ethics for Scientists is
an authoritative “how-to” guide that clearly outlines best
practices in scientific research. Critically examining the key
problems that arise in research management and practice, this
real-world handbook helps students and young scientists conduct
scientific research that adheres to the highest ethical standards.
Accessible chapters, logically organized into functional themes and
units, cover all the major areas that are crucial for sustained
success in science: ideas, people, data, publications, and funding.
The second edition offers new and updated content throughout,
including discussions of recent innovations to detect and
adjudicate research misconduct, vulnerabilities in research
practices that were exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and new
methods people are using to cheat the system and skew the peer
review process. Entirely new case studies focus on harassment and
bullying in training and mentorship, anti-science and
pseudoscience, equality and equity issues, the fabrication of data,
and more. This edition integrates gender, race, student training,
and other important social issues throughout. Presents up-to-date
coverage of growing issues such as the ethics of rushing to publish
Discusses the use of text-similarity detecting software to reveal
plagiarism and image analysis techniques for detecting data and
image manipulation Features new material on current trends such as
universal open access (OA) publishing, increased research metrics,
new models for peer review, working for multiple employers, and
“shadow labs” for individual scientists Includes access to a
companion website with PowerPoint slides of case studies and
figures Written by an experienced researcher and PhD mentor,
Research Ethics for Scientists: A Companion for Students, Second
Edition is an indispensable resource for graduate students,
postdoctoral researchers, early-career professors, and scientists
involved in teaching scientists-in-training.
