Ethics in scientific research has never been more important. Recent controversies over the integrity of data in federally funded science, the manipulation and distortion of privately sponsored research, cloning, stem cell research, and the patenting of DNA and cell lines, illustrate the need for a more thorough education in ethics for researchers at all levels. Now in its second edition, Responsible Conduct of Research provides an
introduction to many of the social, ethical, and legal issues facing scientists today. The fully updated volume includes three brand new chapters and additional cases for discussion, as well as analysis of the
latest issues and problems in research ethics. Featuring chapters that treat such topics as ethical decision-making, research misconduct, and intellectual property, this new edition will be an indispensable resource for students and teachers, academics and industry professionals alike.

"Recommended: The primary audience for this volume will be actual
practitioners of scientific research. Its concise style and
pragmatic perspective will lend themselves well to the training
programs in research ethics that many institutions now require.
Undergraduates will find the meticulously referenced histories and
overviews to be a valuable resource for research projects in
bioethics."--CHOICE
"This is a thoroughly excellent book, valuable to both beginning
students of research ethics, and scientists with every degree of
experience who seek a sound, thoughtful, readable text on research
ethics. The book combines in-depth discussion of the NIH-mandated
elements with useful examples and balanced examination of social,
ethical, and scientific context. Scientists suspicious of ethics
texts may let their suspicions go: this is not training in dogma,
but
thoughtful reflection on the realities of scientific work, based on
carefully examined literature and professional experience. Norms
and ideals are crisply stated, but persuasively and gently
argued
for. This book is strongly recommended." -- Patrick Taylor, Harvard
Medical School and Children's Hospital Boston
