Responsible Research Conduct

This topic contains discussion cases bearing on the responsible conduct of research, including both issues of research integrity and issues of the treatment of the research subject.

An Uncommunicative Research Supervisor

I need to publish some of my research but the supervisor who has worked most closely with me on it is failing to communicate so that we can publish togehter.

Credit among Co-authors

Works on research integrity commonly recommend that collaborators work out some understanding about authorship and other publication credit early in their collaboration. Members of an interdisciplinary research and development team have worked out some general understandings about publication credit. How responsible are these ways of handling credit?

Crediting Trainees for Writing Grant Proposals

A graduate student worries that her work, which is incorporated into a grant proposal, may be credited to someone else, since she is finishing up her work for this research supervisor and another graduate student is to be supported if the proposal is funded. This scenario is substantially the same as that to be found at http://www.onlineethics.org/cms/16234.aspx for which Anila Jahangiri was the primary author.
