Re sp on sib l e Con d u ct o f Re s ea rch Researchers should provide their advice to the government and other policy makers in documents that differ from research articles but still based on evidence and peer reviewed either formally or informally. ďƒ˜
Research ideas and fair accreditation: Research ideas have many sources, some emerge logically from the forward progress of a research program or it could be the product of long and careful individual thought about how to solve a problem. However, when research ideas are discussed in public, they become part of the collective knowledge of the research community. But fairness dictates that individual researchers be acknowledged for their contributions. On the other hand, discussions in private communications as grant proposals or meetings of a research group. Generally deserve to remain privileged as researchers work out the difficult problems associated with gaining reliable knowledge. In particular, the reviewers of grant applications are expected to maintain confidentiality.
