报告摘要

The process of Science is one of humanity’s outstanding intellectual and cultural achievements. It provides the people of the world with a set of tools and processes that can be utilized to generate knowledge. As a community of scientists and scholars we share a common responsibility to advance, promote, and protect the process of Science. Not only scientists, but all scholars, students, teachers, and the general public are also part of the community that values knowledge and therefore also shares common values and respect for the scientific process. But how do we learn the responsible conduct of research? This public lecture is intended as a survey of several key aspects of responsible conduct of research. I will address the following questions: why should we value the process of science and strive to advance, promote, and protect it? What are the roles and the responsibilities of authors, editors, reviewers? How does peer review work? What is the meaning of scientific misconduct? What is data fabrication and data falsification? What are the elements of intellectual property: copyright and patents? What are the ethical guidelines for research with animals; research with humans? What are conflicts of interest? What is the relationship between the university and industry? What are the consequences of failure to work as a responsible scientist?
