Ethical Choices in Research: Managing Data, Writing Reports, and Publishing Results in the Social Sciences

by Harris M. Cooper

All researchers need to be aware of their professional responsibilities and make sound choices after the subjects have left. Readers of this book will learn how Collect and manage data in a way that does not compromise the confidentiality of subjects, avoid data fraud and misleading data analysis, assign research responsibilities and authorships to team members, avoid committing plagiarism and intellectual theft, and navigate the journal submission and publication process.
