Catalog | Articles | Databases | News Duke Libraries / Researching by Subject / Chemical Ethics Scope This guide is designed for the university professor or lab manager who wants to incorporate research ethics education into his or her course(s). The focus is on the integrity of the research process, from the reporting of data to plagiarism. The resources have been chosen based on their applicability to the advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate student curriculum. Most resources are available in the University of North Carolina and Duke University libraries or on the Internet; the rest can be easily obtained through interlibrary loan.
