Research scandals and discussions on structural problems in biomedicine have evoked the need for greater responsibility and compliance with the principles of good scientific practice. Yet what do we really mean by good scientific practice and how can we assume responsibility for the reliability of research and publication processes? This volume responds to these questions in the form of principle-based research ethics.
