JAMA 292(11): 1359-1362.       The author reviews the recent history leading to clinical trial registration. Required reading. Rensberger, B. (2000). "ESSAYS ON SCIENCE AND SOCIETY: The Nature of Evidence." Science 289(5476): 6.       The author, a science writer, responds to criticisms of his profession that they do not teach Americans about science and that opposition to science is based on their giving equal space to quacks as to real science, by indicating that the quality of scientific evidence is often very weak, generating doubt on its own. A very good short paper about the weakness of scientific communication. Roberts, L. W., T. Warner, et al. (2003). "What is ethically important in clinical research? A preliminary study of attitudes of 73 psychiatric faculty and residents." Schizophrenia Bulletin 29(3): 607-13.      This survey of psychiatric faculty and residents at one facility identified scientific quality and safeguards followed by trust in the integrity of the PI as the most important ethical aspects of clinical research. As might be expected, the residents are more ethically sensitive than the faculty. Rodbard, D., P. O'Shea, et al. (2003). Survey of Research Integrity Measures Utilized in Biomedical Research Laboratories. American Institutes for Research.       This private survery conducted for the NIH identified methods that scientists think preserve research integrity and the kinds and duration of training activity in research integrity. Rosenberg, L. E. (1999). "Physician-Scientist- Endangered and Essential." Science 283: 331-332.       The author raises the alarm about the declining number of physicians preparing themselves as scientists and doing clinically related research. This argument was heard, finally in 2006. Sa Couto Md, J. (2003). "An Objectivist's View On The Ethics Of Evidence-Based Medicine: Commentary On 'A Critical Appraisal Of Evidence-Based Medicine: Some Ethical Considerations' (Gupta 2003; Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice 9, 111-121)." Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice 9(2): 137-139.       The author constructs a strong argument that "evidence-based medicine" and reason based on medical theory are incompatible. This "evidence based medicine" is opposed to objective reason. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1365-2753.2003.00401.x Saletan, W. (2001) The Ethicist's New Clothes. Slate Volume, DOI:       This article points out that drug and device companies were hiring ethicists as consultants, and compromising them. The ethicists seemed to them to be blind to how bad their conflicts of interests were in their field of endeavor. Schacter, B. (2002). "Partners in Research, Competitors in Pay." The Scientist (March 4, 2002): 44-45.       The author sheds light on the fact that while scientists collaborate broadly in research, they are really competitors for the same relatively few good positions and pay. He points out the irony in this. But, is this so different from the real world where leadership teams both collaborate and compete? Sideris, L., C. McCarthy, et al. (1999). "Roots of Concern with Nonhuman Animals in Biomedical Ethics." ILAR Journal 40(1): 3-14.       This paper reviews the history of concern for research animals and the impact of passionate anti animal research groups in getting more humane treatment of research animals on the regulatory agenda. Silbergeld, E., S. Lerman, et al. (2004). "ETHICS: Human Health Research Ethics." Science 305(5686): 949-.       This is a strong argument for the use the "common rule" in designing and carrying out studies related to environmental protection. Distinctions between internal EPA studies and non-governmental studies that exist are proposed for change. Steinbrook, R. (2000). "Medical Journals and Medical Reporting." N Engl J Med 342(22): 1668-167.       The author defends the role of the NEJM in reporting materials to the media. They claim purity because they only send out an advance copy of each issue to the press. Of course, we subscribers believe we are paying for the first look at the information. A very self-serving article, I think. Steinbrook, R. (2004). "Public Registration of Clinical Trials." N Engl J Med 351(4): 315-317.       This is one of the articles from leading journals that publish clinical trials arguing the importance of registration. Subsequently, registration has become essentially required. << Previous Section | < Previous Page | Next Page > | Next Section >> Chapter 1 Quick Links The Ethical Basis of RCRH The Nature of Science Research Integrity Professionalism in Science Practical Elements of Responsible Research Conduct Cases Bibliography Chapter 1 Download (PDF)
