Ethics and Scientific Research Study Guide
Ethics Course
This is a course describing the ethical issues research scientists need to consider
when performing their research. First, you will be given the federal definition
of scientific misconduct and then you will be taken through images demonstrating
different types of data manipulation. Following these sections, you will be introduced
to the other ethical issues that need to be considered when conducting scientific
research, followed by questions about each issue that you will be required to answer.
Upon completion of the course, you will be able to print a certificate demonstrating
that you have successfully completed the assignment.

For students who have completed the basic course in scientific ethics, this exercise
contains descriptions of two laboratory research cases. The first case involves
laboratory record keeping while the second case involves the handling of laboratory
data. While you go through each case, you will answer questions regarding the conduct
of the laboratory members. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to print
a certificate demonstrating that you have successfully completed the assignment.
