Responsible Conduct of Research provides an overview of ethical,
legal, and social issues in scientific research for science
students, trainees, and professional scientists. This book gives an
in-depth analysis of a wide array of topics, including ethical
theory and decision-making, misconduct, questionable research
practices, research record-keeping, data sharing, data auditing,
reproducibility, authorship, publication, peer review, intellectual
property, conflict of interest, mentoring, safe research
environment, animal experimentation, research with human subjects,
and social responsibility. Authors Adil E. Shamoo and David B.
Resnik include several case studies and questions at the end of
each chapter that can serve as a basis for further analysis and
discussion. The concluding chapter of the book describes some steps
that researchers, institutional officials, government agencies, and
scientific organizations can take to promote ethical conduct in
scientific research. In this 4th edition of Responsible Conduct of
Research has been updated to include references and discussions of
new and evolving topics, such as digital image manipulation,
self-plagiarism, retractions, publication on pre-print servers,
harassment, research with human biological samples, revisions to
the Common Rule for research with human subjects, dual use
research, the COVID-19 pandemic, providing science advice, and
interactions with the media.
Since the early 2000s, the field of Responsible Conduct of Research
has become widely recognized as essential to scientific education,
investigation, and training. At present, research institutions with
public funding are expected to have some minimal training and
education in RCR for their graduate students, fellows and trainees.
These institutions also are expected to have a system in place for
investigating and reporting misconduct in research or violations of
regulations in research with human subjects, or in their
applications to federal agencies for funding. Public scrutiny of
the conduct of scientific researchers remains high. Media reports
of misconduct scandals, biased research, violations of human
research ethics rules, and moral controversies in research occur on
a weekly basis. Since the 2009 publication of the 2nd edition of
Shamoo and Resnik's Responsible Conduct of Research, there has been
a vast expansion in the information, knowledge, methods, and
diagnosis of problems related to RCR and the multitude of ethical
issues of human subject protections. With the climate surrounding
research conduct always shifting, developments in the field make an
updated edition a necessity. All chapters have been revised and
reflect the most current RCR landscape. New or further-developed
topics include social responsibility and misconduct in social
sciences, climate-change research, authorship, and peer review.
Updates include new information on research involving human
subjects or "vulnerable" biological subjects, as well as genetic
research. Just like in previous editions, all chapters contain
recent case studies and legal examples of various subjects.
