Give 1 Ethical Rule

• Scientific research must be reported honestly. It is wrong and misleading to make up or change research results.
• Scientific researchers must try to see things as they really are. They should avoid being biased by the results they expect or hope to get.
• Researchers must be careful. They should do whatever they can to avoid errors in their data.
• Researchers must inform coworkers and members of the community about any risks of their research. They should do the research only if they have the consent of these groups.
• Researchers studying living animals must treat them humanely. They should provide for their needs and take pains to avoid harming them.
• Researchers studying human subjects must tell their subjects that they have the right to refuse to participate in the research. Human subjects also must be fully informed about their role in the research, including any potential risks.
