The Comunity of scientists 6. Misconduct in Science

5. The Comunity of scientists

“ A Goal of science is to achieve consensus over the widest possible field” The Community of Scientists

Science as a social institution. The goal of science is a consensus of rational opinion over the widest possible field. But there are constraints Education Tradition Sequence of gaining knowledge – existing theories (paradigm) may limit perception The Community of Scientists

Scientific norms Communism Universalism Disinterestedness Originality Skepticism

Communism: scientific knowledge is the property of everyone scientists have to publish their results Scientific norms

Universalism: no privileged sources of scientific knowledge the only criterion is competence Scientific norms

Disinterestedness: refers to a lack of bias or a lack of self-interest is not the same as being uninterested Scientific norms

Originality: work should be original Scientific norms

Skepticism: Scientists are critical Skepticism as peer review Scientific norms

Instruments Invisible colleges Peer review Reward System

Invisible Colleges (communication networks): Journals Conferences Projects … Instruments

Peer Review: independent peers review the paper accept or reject it … almost never a perfect process Instruments

Reward System: Recognition among peers Invited Talks Program Chair of Conferences Community Prizes Top Prizes Salary Contract money Instruments

6. Misconduct in Science

In Science integrity is the most important thing Misconduct in Science Easy to say Hard to do Science punishes misconduct

Scientific Commandments: Be Honest Never manipulate data Be precise Be fair with regard to priority and ideas Be without bias with regard to the data and ideas of your rival Do not make compromises in trying to solve a problem Hans Mohr, 1979 Misconduct in Science

Examples: Fraud Misconduct in Science Fabrication [make up data results] Falsification [change data results]

Plagiarism : use of someone’s else words (ideas, pictures, …) without giving proper credit Misconduct in Science

Conflict of Interest : avoid personal issues Paper of a friend Paper of a competing group

Failing to retain research data for a reasonable period Maintaining inadequate research records Refusing to give peers access to research materials Inappropriate statistic to enhance the significance of research findings Inadequately supervising research subordinates Misrepresenting speculations as fact Releasing results without providing sufficient data Selective reporting of research Interference Self-plagiarism Questionable Research Practices

In Science the Honesty is the key issue… Misconduct in Science … otherwise … … we loose the game badly

1. Research and Scholarship

Research and Scholarship Two dimensions: 1.do research:= Vertical Dimension 2.achieve scholarship:= Horizontal Dimension You must make time for each!!!

Computer Networks Multimedia Communications Software Engineering Knowledge Management Vertical dimension Horizontal dimension Research and Scholarship
