SEMESTER STARTS WITH RESPONSIBLE CONDUCT OF RESEARCH

2017.01.27 Wed Class discussion Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) (1) Course Overview: Fulfilling Responsible Conduct in Research Training

Discussion of Overall Course Requirements which include:

  • View the Responsible Conduct of Research and Scholarship Presentation given to department chairs by professor Michael Hadjiargyrou (to be done as a group today) 2010.06.08_hadjiargyrou.pdf
  • Complete a relevant RCR module, and achieve a 80% or higher quiz grade, within the web-based Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative located at http://www.citiprogram.org
  • Following the schedule below and prior to coming to each class: (i) view the appropriate online lecture, (ii) read additional accompanying materials, and (iii) come prepared for the days discussion topics

  • How is science a social enterprise?
2017.02.10 Wed Class discussion Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) (3) Scientific Misconduct

Stony Brook Lecture


Reading


Discussion

  • From Case Study 1: Was it appropriate for Dr. Chan to promise Samantha second authorship based on performing some assays?
  • From Case Study 1: It seems clear that there is a problem with Samantha's data. What should Julio do now?
  • Why do people commit scientific misconduct?
  • What are some consequences of committing scientific misconduct?
2017.02.17 Wed Class discussion Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) (4) Mentoring

Stony Brook Lecture


Readings


Discussion (also from the above Columbia course)

  • Is it ever appropriate for authorship to change during a project or potential paper?
  • How should authorship roles be defined?
  • What are some abuses of authorship?

Stony Brook Lecture


Readings


Discussion

  • Is plagiarism really that bad?
  • If you copy a paragraph from another sources and modify it by say 10% is that enough to not be plagiarism ? What about 20%, or 30%, or 51% ? At what percentage is it no longer plagiarism? How many words do you need to change?
2017.03.09 Wed Class discussion Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) (7) Data Management

Stony Brook Lecture


Readings


Discussion

  • From Case Study 1: Why shouldn't Renee be able to use the samples since she is not studying any disease associated with the samples?
  • From Case Study 2: Under what condition is copying allowed?
  • Discuss ways to keep good records so that future researchers will be able to (A) reproduce your work and (B) re-analyze your results. Include in your discussion how you you will be able to share "raw" results.
