The recent Guest Editorial in Current Science titled 'Ethics and Indian science' has opened up a complex moral aspect daunting the scientific community. It highlights the lack of ethical guidelines in universities and science institutions, which is a serious concern. Half a century ago, scientists did not come across such grave concerns in science. But in recent decades, cases involving scientific misconduct have increased. Scientists receive more research grants now compared to a few decades ago, because Government agencies and business corporations expect rapid inventions in the essential health, food and energy sectors to meet the increasing developmental needs.

Abstract


The recent Guest Editorial in Current Science titled 'Ethics and Indian science' has opened up a complex moral aspect daunting the scientific community. It highlights the lack of ethical guidelines in universities and science institutions, which is a serious concern. Half a century ago, scientists did not come across such grave concerns in science. But in recent decades, cases involving scientific misconduct have increased. Scientists receive more research grants now compared to a few decades ago, because Government agencies and business corporations expect rapid inventions in the essential health, food and energy sectors to meet the increasing developmental needs.
