Responsible and Ethical Conduct of Research
The responsible and ethical conduct of research (RECR) is critical for excellence, as well as public trust, in science and engineering. The responsible and ethical conduct of research involves not only a responsibility to generate and disseminate knowledge with rigor and integrity, but also a responsibility to:
- conduct peer review with the highest ethical standards;
- diligently protect proprietary information and intellectual property from inappropriate disclosure; and
- treat students and colleagues fairly and with respect.
