Reviews

This book has a world wide approach with careful warnings where some countries still lag behind in their policing of research papers. All researchers should read this book before they commence their projects, and then they should read it again just before submitting their work for possible publication. Maturitas Spring 2009 The book is unique in the way it informs us about historical aspects of the lack of research integrity and provides definitions for misconduct and other forms of scientific dishonesty. The Lancet, March 2009 The editors have structured the fourth edition differently from earlier versions... The aim has been to create more of a standard text with an appeal to students and teachers of medical research and publication ethics, as well as academics and those of us from a more commercial background. In fact, anyone with an interest in ensuring the highest standards of conduct in research will benefit from reading this book. The Write Stuff, Vol 18, No.3 2009 I cannot think that there is any branch of medicine to which the messages which come so clearly from this excellent book may not be applicable. Pharmaceutical Medicine You can read all about it in this racy yet scholarly book. I predict you will not be able to lay it down. Medical Journal of Australia Provides additional stimulus to a discussion that undoubtedly will continue into the future. JAMA
