|Title=The ethics of managing a laboratory or research group
|Is About=In managing a research laboratory, a variety of ethical challenges occur, including issues with the management of personnel, financial and material resources, projects, and data.

Many of them also stated that their graduate and post-graduate education and training did not adequately prepare them to deal with the ethical, financial, interpersonal, and other issues that arise when managing a research laboratory, and that effective communication and leadership are essential for ethical research laboratory management.
