"Scientific misconduct: exaggerated fear but still real and requiring a proportionate response." The Lancet 354(9172): 7.       This editorial discusses national committees to deals with allegations of scientific misconduct. He mentions pressures to more effectively regulate research. However, others decry the dead hand or regulators inhibiting research. These questions are still with us. Hotz, R. L. (2003). Medical Tests Skewed, Study Finds.

JAMA 283(7): 921-926.       The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), enacted in 1974 to regulate pension and health benefit plans, is a complex statute that dominates the managed care environment. Physicians must understand ERISA's role in the relationship between themselves and managed care organizations (MCOs), including how it can influence clinical decision making and physician autonomy. This article describes ERISA's central provisions and how ERISA influences health care delivery in MCOs. We analyze ERISA litigation trends in 4 areas: professional liability, utilization management, state legislative initiatives, and compensation arrangements. This analysis demonstrates how courts have interpreted ERISA to limit physician autonomy and subordinate clinical decision making to MCOs' cost containment decisions. Physicians should support efforts to amend ERISA, thus allowing greater state regulatory oversight of MCOs and permitting courts to hold MCOs accountable for their role in medical decision making. Johnson, W. B. and N. Nelson (1999). Mentor-Protégé Relationships in Graduate Training: Some Ethical Concerns. Ethics & Behavior. 9: 189-210.       The authors, dealing with psychology graduate students analyze the mentor-mentee relationship and define the characteristics of an appropriate mentor. They indicate that mentoring involves a number of ethical dilemmas. In this article, they deal with competence to mentor, equal access to mentoring, exploitation in mentoring relationships, and multiple role demands related to mentoring as well as describing to the mentee the nature of the mentoring relationship. They conclude with recommendations for both mentor and mentee. Kaiser, J. (1999). "POLICING OF SCIENCE:A Misconduct Definition That Finally Sticks?"
