Answer:
Ethics refers to some set of rule and regulations or principles, that ensure the right conduct in a definite professional or academic environment.
When we talk about lab ethics, there are a set of principles which a scientist need to follow to demonstrate excellent lab ethics.While working in laboratory a scientist must make sure that ethical standards are a priority of them. Here we will discuss few of those:
- A scientist should never manipulate the data and results just to make them in accordance with the previously reported studies.
- Scientist should properly document every protocol and process and take special care that no changes are made in experiment due to environmental influences that can affect the reliability of results.
- Scientist should always report the results and processes which he performed and never report work without actually doing it.
- Scientist should never omit some part of the experiment or compromise the data or results of experiment.
- Scientist should never manipulate the calculations.
- Every process or step that is part of a scientist's experimentation should be conducted before the finalization of the results and not perform procedure after results are made.
- Scientist should replicate his experimentation at least three times to make sure that what he is reporting is based on facts and not just error in experimentation.
- Scientist should never report self made information just to validate or proof his work.
