Graduate Research Ethics: Cases and Commentaries - Volume 2, 1998

These cases and commentaries result from a series of workshops on Graduate Research Ethics Education, held at Indiana University, Bloomington, from 1996 to 2000. The project brought together many graduate and post-doctoral students in the natural sciences for a study of research ethics and reflects the experiences and problems they face. The project was sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF Grant No. SBR 9421897) to the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE). Volume 2 includes 17 cases exploring many aspects of res search ethics including publication ethics, ethics in the use of animals and humans in research, and conflicts of interest. Each case is accompanied by at least two expert commentaries.
