About the Book: Research and Publication Ethics : A Textbook
Research starts with questions for which a researcher wishes to seek answers.
The researcher may be involved alone in this act of seeking answer, or may
involve a group or groups with whom the researcher collaborates. Since all
institutions of higher learning are also bestowed with the responsibility of
training young minds in the appropriate methods of research, a researcher also
has the role of a mentor. Each of these aspects requires adherence to some basic
ethical practices.
