Disclosing Research Findings
What is this about?
The case describes a scenario where a young researcher, during his interview for a new, much-desired career post, and in a subsequent post-interview informal chat, is ‘pushed’ towards sharing unpublished findings and/or details of his current research team’s work.
Why is this important?
This fictional case is a firm reminder of the several types of conflicts of interest one can come across in their research life. The case is presented alongside questions that provide a starting point for reflection on the dilemmas faced by researchers in relation to their contractual responsibilities as well as moral obligations when working in a team.
