Responsible Science : Ensuring the Integrity of the Research Process: Volume II

Volume II of Responsible Science includes background papers and selected institutional reports, policies, and procedures that were used to develop Volume I.

Topics discussed include traditions of mentorship in science; data handling practices in the biological sciences; academic policies and standards governing the conduct of research practices; congressional interest in issues of misconduct and integrity in science; the regulatory experience of human subjects research; and the roles of scientific and engineering societies in fostering research integrity. The panel also considers numerous institutional policy statements adopted by research universities and professional societies that address different aspects of misconduct or integrity in science.

These statements have been selected to convey the diverse approaches for addressing such matters within research institutions.
