The MICHR Genomic DNA BioLibrary: An Empirical Study of the Ethics of Biorepository Development
In this article, we report on an effort to study the development and usefulness of a large, broad-use, opt-in biorepository for genomic research, focusing on three ethical issues: providing appropriate understanding, recruiting in ways that do not comprise autonomous decisions, and assessing costs versus benefits. We conclude the following: (a) Understanding can be improved by separating the task of informing subjects from documenting informed co…
The Role of Professional Societies in Promoting Integrity in Research
It is suggested that professional societies should 1) undertake a careful assessment of needs and possible problems in their research areas, 2) develop resources to address specific problems, and 3) take more active roles in promoting integrity in research among their members
Between Politics and Science: Assuring the Integrity and Productivity of Research
School choice is currently the most hotly debated educational policy in the United States. Nearly every state has adopted some sort of school choice provision (open enrollment, charter schools, or vouchers), and yet the academic community is still uncertain whether school choice succeeds in improving schools or whether it is merely another in a long series of educational reforms. When Schools Compete: A Cautionary Tale by Helen Ladd and Edward Fi…

Commentary: The University and Research Ethics
The issue of fraud in research raises a number of difficult problems for the university. A few researchers have violated commonly accepted norms for ethical behavior. Among other offenses, they have falsified data, plagiarized information, and stolen ideas. The exact mechanisms of the violations may be quite clear to the institution within which they happen. What may be less certain are the significance of these episodes of misconduct, the factor…

Joseph Glanvill is well known for his enthusiastic support of the early Royal Society. Even before Thomas Sprat's History of the Royal Society of London (1667) appeared in full, Glanvill had set a philosophic background for the new science in his Vanity of dogmatizing (1661), had attacked the outdatedness of contemporary Aristotelians in a revised edition of Vanity called Scepsis scientifica (1665), had praised the Society at length in a flowery …
