Research Ethics

This guide is an introductory list to help locate research materials at the Rowland Medical Library. Research ethics are the principles which govern the methods of conducting and reporting scientific research. Proper standards should be followed to avoid negligence or recklessness in the gathering of data, conducting of experiments, and reporting of results.  Research ethics also includes the concepts of scientific misconduct, plagiarism, scientific integrity, and scientific fraud.
