Responsible Biomedical Science : Text with Cases Book

Scientific Integrity: an Introductory Text with Cases is designed for students pursuing careers in biomedical research. Each chapter has been extensively tested in the classroom and reviewed by scientists responsible for teaching courses on scientific integrity to ensure that the coverage of key issues is complete, clear, and concise. Provocative case studies are provided at the end of most chapters to complement the text and offer readers an opportunity to debate the complex issues facing contemporary biomedical researchers. This book avoids prescriptive lists of do's and don'ts and encourages students to think critically about how to integrate ethical considerations into their research careers.

The book contains no figures.

Developed specifically to cover broad areas of scientific integrity and to meet the needs of today's graduate students and scientists working in the biomedical sciences. Case studies illustrate the diversity of issues that have been identified under the umbrella of scientific integrity.
