Description: RESEARCH ETHICS AND PROFESSIONALISM SEMINAR ***** This seminar will focus on the gray issues of ethical and professional conduct all researchers will encounter in their careers. We will use case studies where appropriate to discuss issues such as confidentiality of information learned in peer review, conflict of interest, ownership of data or programs produced by one person with support from another, and when should a collaborator be a coauthor on a paper. We will discuss some academic professionalism issues like the relationships between graduate students, research staff, junior faculty, and senior faculty. ***** Also offered as CAAM 601 and COMP 601.
