Research Ethics1.0 MY INTERESTS undergrad
Each of us goes into research for our own reasons. One pursues the dream of an intrinsically rewarding career; another to advance the state of scientific or humanistic knowledge. Others want to improve their well-being or the well-being of loved ones; to assist the disadvantaged here and elsewhere; to help develop improved methods of caring for animals or the environment. Other reasons may not sound as noble but are equally powerful: to make more money, become famous, expand opportunities for advancement, or acquire flexibility in a work schedule.
Your motivation for doing research is formed against the backdrop of your individual personality. As you pursue your interests in doing research, you will encounter both opportunities and dangers. To achieve your goals, you must be ready to avoid potential risks and seize potential benefits. Two of the major risks in research involve compromises of integrity and honesty. We turn now to the first of these risks, the mishandling of research through falsification or fabrication.
