"Four years after having published my book with Trafford, a subsidiary of AuthorHouse, I was still getting phone calls from their high-powered phone salespeople, known as marketing consultants, to persuade me to buy their expensive marketing gimmicks. I must admit that I had given in far too often in the past, and they were quite sure they could continue to milk my bank account. Almost immediately buyer's remorse set in with a vengeance. How could I do this! I know this is a scam, why am I so stupid? I'm supposed to be a reasonably intelligent woman! Nothing they've ever done on my behalf has had the slightest impact on book sales.

I decided to look a bit more extensively into what I came to realize was the AuthorHouse Scam, and have written this book to share my experiences and findings with other authors and potential authors."
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.
