Description: This reader provides a thorough overview of the ethical dilemmas confronting contemporary research scientists. Original material, reprints, and cases on topics such as relationships with colleagues, institutional responsibility, conflict of interest, experimentation with animals and humans, and methodologies for ethically conducting, reporting, and funding research clarify difficult questions for students and professionals alike. The collection supports efforts, in response to increasingly stringent federal mandates, to include ethics instruction in research training.
