Presented by the UC Ethics Center - Speaker: Michael C. Loui, Ph.D.
Dr. Loui identifies similarities between the responsible conduct of research (RCR) and the ethics of a profession such as engineering. Just as codes of professional ethics define the standards for trustworthiness in professional practice, so too do the obligations of RCR set the standards for the trustworthiness of academic research. In the presentation Dr. Loui shows short video vignettes to illustrate several RCR issues that occur in research activities across academic disciplines, such as plagiarism, mentoring, peer review, and data management.
