7. AREAS OF SCIENTIFIC DISHONESTY PLAGIARISM: Using other people’s work without acknowledge their contribution. FABRICATION AND FALSIFICATION: Fabrication is making up results and recording or reporting them. Falsification is manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes or changing results. NONPUBLICATION OF DATA: Data was suppressed. FAULTY DATA GATHERING: If machines are not calibrated correctly, subjects do not follow procedures correctly, if untrained research assistants are used. POOR DATA STORAGE AND RETENTION: Should be available for verification of others. MISLEADING AUTHORSHIP: People take credit who really make very little contribution to the study. ETHICAL DECISION MAKING IN RESEARCH Although codes, policies, and principles are very important and useful, like any set of rules, they do not cover every situation, they often conflict, and they require considerable interpretation. It is therefore important for researchers to learn how to interpret, assess, and apply various research rules and how to make decisions. 7

9. Why managers behave ethically? In any type of business, the behavior of all employees, especially the management reflects on the company. A manager should always behave ethically to maintain good representation of themselves and the company. If a manager behaves unethical, their employees will most likely follow their lead. Thus reduces the company’s performance. Managers and people in general should realize that acting unethical, not only affects them personally, but affects the lives of many other people as well. 9
