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
