A guide to the everyday decisions about right and wrong faced by
physical scientists and research engineers. This book offers the
first comprehensive guide to ethics for physical scientists and
engineers who conduct research. Written by a distinguished
professor of chemistry and chemical engineering, the book focuses
on the everyday decisions about right and wrong faced by scientists
as they do research, interact with other people, and work within
society. The goal is to nurture readers' ethical intelligence so
that they know an ethical issue when they see one, and to give them
a way to think about ethical problems. After introductions to the
philosophy of ethics and the philosophy of science, the book
discusses research integrity, with a unique emphasis on how
scientists make mistakes and how they can avoid them. It goes on to
cover personal interactions among scientists, including authorship,
collaborators, predecessors, reviewers, grantees, mentors, and
whistle-blowers. It considers underrepresented groups in science as
an ethical issue that matters not only to those groups but also to
the development of science, and it examines human participants and
animal subjects. Finally, the book examines scientifically relevant
social issues, including public policy, weapons research, conflicts
of interest, and intellectual property. Each chapter ends with
discussion questions and case studies to encourage debate and
further exploration of topics. The book can be used in classes and
seminars in research ethics and will be an essential reference for
scientists in academia, government, and industry.
