Scientific Ethics

Yes, you are right. This is a BIOLOGY guide, but there is no equivalent. Everything committed to below could just as well be adopted by a Biology council. It is still relevant to the field even if it is a chemist's creed.

"The Chemical Professional's Code of Conduct" can be found in the ACS guide at: https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/careers/career-services/ethics/the-chemical-professionals-code-of-conduct.html.

"On Being A Scientist,"  a video from the National Academies.

 

The Online Ethics Center for Engineering and Science,  supported by Case Western Reserve University,  is designed for science and engineering students.

The Center supports a "Help Desk" for students needing advice on ethical problems and areas with ethics resource materials, cases, codes, diversity and gender issues, problems in the corporate world, etc.

There is also an extensive bibliography and a helpful glossary of ethics terms.
