The ORI Introduction to the Responsible Conduct of Research has been written primarily for researchers and research staff engaged in research supported by the Public Health Service but is applicable to scholarly research, in general. As an “introduction,” it seeks to provide a practical overview of the rules, regulations, and professional practices that define the responsible conduct of research. The coverage is not exhaustive and leaves room for continued reading and discussion in the laboratory and classroom, at professional meetings, and in any other setting where researchers gather to discuss their work.

Pavel wrote: "Excellent brief introduction to basic aspects of science ethics and guidelines for responsible behaviour, especially in natural and biomedical sciences. Helpful case studies and suggestions for further reading, though the latter need some updating. Every graduate student, postdoc and senior should read this book and keep it on his or her shelf for consulting."
