Inhaltsangabe

The Management of Scientific Integrity within Academic Medical Centers discusses the impact scientific misconduct has in eight complex case studies. Authors look at multifaceted mixtures of improper behavior, poor communication, cultural issues, adverse medical/health issues, interpersonal problems and misunderstandings to illustrate the challenge of identifying and managing what went wrong and how current policies have led to the establishment of quasi legal processes within academic institutions. The book reviews the current global regulations and concludes with a section authored by a US federal court judge who provides his perspective on the adequacy of current regulations and policies.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Alleged scientific misconduct cases are quite complex and it is exceptionally rare to manage a misconduct case with a clear ‘black and white’ finding of obvious wrongdoing. More often, these cases are multifaceted mixtures of improper behaviour, poor communication, cultural issues, adverse medical/health issues, interpersonal problems and misunderstandings. Teasing apart these issues to identify and manage what went wrong is truly challenging, and current policies have led to the establishment of what may be considered quasi legal processes, within academic institutions. The thesis of the book represents a global concern.This book discusses the impact scientific misconduct has in 8 case studies, it reviews the current global regulations and concludes with a section authored by a US Federal Court Judge who provides his perspective on the adequacy of current regulations and policies.
