F.L. Macrina

American Society for Microbiology (2005)

Scientists are very often under pressure to publish faster, take on board as many students as possible, get grants and develop an extensive collaborative network. This book will give practical ideas and well explained concepts on ethics related to scientific research. Although this book focuses on biological and biomedical aspects it would be a great source of information for undergraduate and postgraduate students in many scientific fields. It will remind scientists that scientific activities have a great impact on a broader part of our community. This book will also be useful for academics interested to work on ethics, mentoring, tutoring or just reflecting on their research activities. The exercises and case studies provided in the book would also help colleagues involved in teaching or wishing to teach such topic. A copy of this book should be available in any scientific library.
