On Being a Scientist - Responsible Conduct in Research (Electronic book text)

The level of trust that has characterized science and its relationship with society has contributed to a period of unparalleled scientific productivity. But this trust will endure only if we strive to exemplify the values associated with ethical scientific conduct. Science has become even more complex since the publication of the first edition of this book, making a formal introduction to research ethics and responsibilities especially crucial. This new version reflects suggestions from readers, instructors, students and professors.
