Integrity in Scientific Research Videos.
Five videos available from AAAS on these topics:
Video 1: This video highlights issues related to intellectual property, the disclosure of privileged information, sharing information among scientists, crediting the work of others, and the responsibilities of collaborators who encounter questionable conduct by a colleague.
Video 2: This video explores the competitive pressures scientists experience to get the data "right" and to publish their findings, mentoring responsibilities, loyalty to and honesty with one's collaborators, and the selection and reporting of data and record keeping.
Video 3: This case focuses on issues related to the consequences of industrial support for the sharing of data and resources, the role of technology transfer, the effects of commingling public and private funds, and the stresses that scientists encounter in the face of conflicting professional values, legal obligations, and loyalty to colleagues.
Video 4: This video touches on issues related to authorship practices, the allocation of credit, and the importance of maintaining laboratory notebooks.
Video 5: Several issues are raised regarding the responsibilities and consequences of reporting suspected research misconduct, institutional responses to misconduct allegations, reporting deviations from research protocol, and the use of animals in research.
