Scientific Research: Dilemmas and Temptations

What is this about?

This booklet is based on actual research practice, in other words the problems and choices that arise during the various phases of a scientific study. This involves designing the experiment, collecting data, analysing and reporting the results, and the way those results are used.

Why is this important?

increased competition in science can make it tempting to let personal interests prevail above the interests of science.This booklet is intended to encourage discussion of various issues so as to contribute to deliberate, responsible decision-making. The key question is always how one should act correctly from the point of view of science and responsibly from the point of view of ethics when designing, carrying out, and reporting on scientific research.
