A Note on Using On Being a Scientist
For many graduate students, a seminar, class, or instructional module is their first formal exposure to responsible conduct in research. The guide On Being A Scientist explores the reasons for specific actions rather than stating definite conclusions about what should or should not be done in particular situations, and it can be used in formal ses-sions as well as for individual readings.
Scientific knowledge is achieved collectively through discussion and debate. Collective deliberation is an equally good way to explore how professional standards influence research. Group discussion can reveal the issues involved in a decision, connect those issues to more general standards, explore the interests and perspectives of different stakeholders, and identify possible strategies for resolving problems.
The guide On Being a Scientist hopes to stimulate group discussions, whether in orientations, seminars, research settings, or informal meet-ings.These discussions should include active researchers who bring their practical experience to the discussion and demonstrate by their presence that they recognize the critical importance of responsible conduct. The case studies included in this guide can be valuable to
