DESCRIPTION:
Research Ethics takes a novel approach and emphasizes the art of philosophical decision-making. Part B explains contractualism and covers issues of authorship, peer review and responsible use of statistics. Part D uses two-level utilitarianism to explore the possibilities and limits of the experimental use of animals, duties to the environment and future generations, and the social responsibilities of researchers. Part A introduces egoism and explains that it is in the individual's own interest to avoid misconduct, fabrication of data, plagiarism and bias. Education in the responsible conduct of research typically takes the form of online instructions about rules, regulations, and policies. Part C introduces moral rights as the basis of informed consent, the use of humans in research, mentoring, intellectual property and conflicts of interests. This book brings a fresh perspective to research ethics and will engage the moral imaginations of graduate students in all disciplines.
Gary Comstock is Professor of Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy and Religion, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina.

R. Z. Seg said textbook. Had to buy it for grad course, so I dont really like it but it gets the job done and covers all the bases. "Kindle version is horrible" according to J. Anthony. The kindle version needs ALOT of help. The pages and chapters aren't separated and numbered oddly. It's very confusing. I wish I just bought the actual book. It's basically worthless
