Definitions and Boundaries of Research Misconduct: Perspectives from a Federal Government Viewpoint.

Price, Alan R.

Journal of Higher Education, v65 n3 p286-97 May-Jun 1994

The evolution of the definition of scientific misconduct in two federal agencies, the Public Health Service/National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, is examined, and the resulting regulatory definitions are contrasted. Further change is anticipated as the definitions are criticized and challenged. (MSE)
