Chapter 9: Considering Ethics in Scientific Communication |
|
The intent of this chapter is to help you examine critically ethical issues in scientific communication, not scientific ethics in general. Thus, you will look at the social ethics of science, the ethics of scientific communication (authorship, plagiarism, acknowledgments, and credit), the moral role and responsibilities of scientists in communicating with other scientists (and the pressures not to do so), the conflict between scientific and public communication, the ethics of scientific style, and finally, some ethical ramifications of the process of socialization.
