{"product_id":"9781139609548","title":"Research Ethics: A Philosophical Guide to the Responsible Conduct of Research","description":"Education in the responsible conduct of research typically takes the form of online instructions about rules, regulations, and policies. Research Ethics takes a novel approach and emphasizes the art of philosophical decision-making. Part A introduces egoism and explains that it is in the individual's own interest to avoid misconduct, fabrication of data, plagiarism and bias. Part B explains contractualism and covers issues of authorship, peer review and responsible use of statistics. Part C introduces moral rights as the basis of informed consent, the use of humans in research, mentoring, intellectual property and conflicts of interests. Part D uses two-level utilitarianism to explore the possibilities and limits of the experimental use of animals, duties to the environment and future generations, and the social responsibilities of researchers. This book brings a fresh perspective to research ethics and will engage the moral imaginations of graduate students in all disciplines.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131510505712,"sku":"9781139609548","price":28.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781139609548_p0.jpg?v=1763700314","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781139609548","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
