NAS releases research ethics guide.
Conducting research responsibly is the focus of a new guide from the US National Academies. Aimed at early-career scientists and their mentors, On Being a Scientist: A Guide to Responsible Conduct in Research addresses such questions as how to allocate credit for a discovery among a team, how to respond to errors in published works, and how to recognize conflicts of interest that could influence study results. Examples include some recent real-world cases of misconduct.
