This occasional seminar series was motivated by one of us reading articles which appeared in the November 2004 issue of Physics Today. There was a discussion of these at an informal seminar in March 2005. Links to these articles are provided below. The first two are public, the second requires a subscription to Physics Today (note you get this with membership of AGU).

Ethics and the Welfare of the Physics Profession

Trust and the Future of Research

The Scientist's Code of Ethics


On Being a Scientist (NAS Press, 2nd Edition, 1995)

UCSD Policy on Integrity in Research


April 21, 2005 informal seminar will feature a discussion of topics featured on pages 9-15 of On Being a Scientist. These deal with publication and openness, allocation of credit and authorship practices. You can read this material on line at the link above.
