About The Book

Ethics in Science: Ethical Misconduct in Scientific Research by John D'Angelo provides a comprehensive and updated exploration of ethical violations within the field of scientific research. The second edition, fully revised and expanded, covers a wide range of ethical misconduct issues and explains why they occur, how they are handled, and the strategies that can be employed to prevent them.

The book is divided into two key sections: the first covers various forms of scientific misconduct and the peer-review process, while the second presents real-life case studies to give readers an opportunity to evaluate the facts and decide if an ethical violation has taken place and how to address it. This edition includes four new chapters, addressing current hot topics like the ethics of the pharmaceutical industry, the responsibility of science to the environment, and the ethics guidelines of STEM professional societies.

With updated case studies and essential tools for guiding debates on topical controversies, this text is a valuable resource for anyone teaching or studying scientific integrity and research ethics. It equips readers with the necessary knowledge to navigate the complex world of ethical decision-making in science, making it an indispensable resource for both students and professionals in the field.
