Spotlight on Research Ethics:
by Robert Davison 
 
 
 Appropriate standards of research ethics are critical to scholarship in our discipline. In the last few years, a number of ethical issues have cropped up, including those associated with plagiarism and self-plagiarism, the fabrication of data, and inappropriate authorships (for instance when a prominent 'name' is added to a paper so as to increase the likelihood that the paper is accepted).

President's Message
