Has something important happened to scientific ethics? -- Will approaches from the psychosocial and organizational sciences improve research misconduct regulation? -- What combination of regulatory tools will minimize research misconduct? -- Are current publication standards protecting the integrity of the scientific record? -- Lessons from clinical case studies in research misconduct -- Research misconduct policy, its evolution and culture of morality -- The unity of moral science.
Federal regulations that govern research misconduct in biomedicine have not been able to prevent an ongoing series of high-profile cases of fabricating, falsifying, or plagiarizing scientific research. In this book, Barbara Redman looks critically at current research misconduct policy and proposes a new approach that emphasizes institutional context and improved oversight.
