Example text

As in the US, concern first started when misconduct was found in clinical research, which, of course, seems rather too close to home for most people. But it is a widespread problem. An organisation established to discipline physicians cannot realistically police scientific misconduct when, even in clinical research, most projects involve numerous co-workers with different degrees and expertise, some of them completely outside medicine. Some mechanism must be found to broaden the scope of regulation and enforcement.

In what circumstances? By whose judgment? There are whole areas of research – for example, research on stem cells, or on aborted fetuses – where ethical scientists hold strongly divergent opinions about “good” standards. To give an example, one of us (DR) used to conduct physiologic experiments at high altitude in Nepal. Once a whole batch of specimens was ruined because DR had not known that dry ice would be unavailable during a religious holiday. As a result, the results obtained were incomplete and the differences not statistically significant.

Because even today no single committee has jurisdiction over all of science, no congressional hearing can presume to look at the issue of “scientific misconduct” in its entirety, only at those cases or issues related to the committee’s jurisdiction. Instead, Congress, like the agencies who fund the research, has tended to approach the issue piecemeal, even though it clearly affects all parts of the research system.
