This widely adopted textbook provides the essential content and
skill-building tools for teaching the responsible conduct of scientific
research. Scientific Integrity covers the breadth of concerns faced by
scientists: protection of animal and human experimental subjects,
scientific publication, intellectual property, conflict of interest,
collaboration, record keeping, mentoring, and the social and ethical
responsibilities of scientists. Learning activities and resources
designed to elucidate the principles of Scientific Integrity include
- Dozens of highly relevant, interactive case studies for discussion in
class or online
- Numerous print and online resources covering the newest research
guidelines, regulations, mandates and policies
- Discussion questions, role-playing exercises, and survey tools to
promote critical thought
- Documents including published rules of conduct, sample experimentation
protocols, and patent applications
The new edition of Scientific Integrity responds to significant recent
changes--new mandates, policies, laws, and other developments--in the
field of responsible conduct of research. Dr. Macrina plants the seeds
of awareness of existing, changing, and emerging standards in scientific
conduct and provides the tools to promote critical thinking in the use
of that information. Scientific Integrity is the original turnkey text
to guide the next generations of scientists as well as practicing
researchers in the essential skills and approaches for the responsible
conduct of science.
