    Recenzii

    This book is intended for those who want to teach integrity and responsible conduct of research, with reflections on the ethics of science. The cases are an excellent basis for interactive training, as all these examples are controversial and raise challenging questions that need to be explored further. D’Angelo brings home in a forceful way the important role that scientific publications and scientific publishing can play in highlighting misconduct and bad practices, while also showing how these can be the source of bad practices as well when quality peer review or editorial evaluations are compromised. As we all know, these negative behaviors by authors and editors are often the consequence of the race to publish (. . . or perish) which too often leads to evaluation criteria for the promotion of researchers and allocation of resources that are based on quantity of publication, rather than quality. This book helps to provide a way forward by using concrete examples to signal where and how misconduct is likely to occur, and what can be done to avoid these pitfalls.
