Opis

The increase in regulations affecting the conduct of scientific research, and the debate about their appropriateness and effectiveness, reflect societal concerns with fundamental questions raised by certain types of scientific inquiry. This book addresses issues of ethics, accountability, and conflict as they relate to the rights of inquiry, the rights of citizens, and the role of government in a research-oriented society.
