Training for Responsible Conduct In Research http://my.research.umich.edu/peerrs/ Conflict of Interest Research Practice and Foundations Human Subjects Research Authorship Register and go through the modules
Basic Principles Science is fast paced and complex Senior researchers always racing against time Anonymous surveys show that many researchers engage in irresponsible practices or have witnessed others doing so.
Professional Codes of Science Researchers have an obligation to honor the trust their colleagues placed on them Researchers have an obligation to themselves. Researchers have an obligation to act in ways that serve the public
Most Serious Violation Scientific Misconduct Fabrication, Falsification and Plagiarism (FFP) in proposing, performing, reviewing or reporting research results. Questionable research practices are handled in informal and formal ways across institution.
Research Group and Mentor Interaction within your team members Interaction with faculty mentor Interaction with GSI Structure, process, expectations
Treatment of Data De-identified data Natural mistakes, errors vs negligence Fraudulent manipulation Selective reporting, Data dredging, Run after significance
Treatment of Data Design Storage/Recording Sharing Analysis
Discovering an error in your work What should you do?
Someone in your team engages in breach of trust What should you do?
Plagiarism Copying sentences from a published paper, as you write your report-Plagiarism?
Career can be at risk Potti case in Duke University Baggerly and Coombes paper posted in ctools
Human Subjects Research Institutional Review Board (IRB) Even collecting data from you requires IRB approval if it will be used for any external write-up.
Sharing of Results Making new findings available to others Poster, Oral presentation Written technical reports Peer-reviewed publications
Archive and Save Each iteration of code and analysis Each version of dataset Each draft of paper Make final sets available through the Wiki and ctools site.
Allocation of Credit Who gets credit? Who decides? How to negotiate authorship? Description of authorship contribution.
Conflict of Interest Board of director of a company and using their products in genotyping Have large investments in a company, buy their sequencing tools Conflicts from commitment (kayaking vs coding)
Researchers in the Society Benefits and risks of knowledge Honesty, fairness, collegiality and openness basic guides in science and society Educate students, peers, policymakers
Here is to your Journey! Lemonade Only!
