• Conduct, Misconduct and the Structure of Science
  James Woodward and David Goodstein. American Scientist 1996 (Sept-Oct);84(5):479-490 "In drafting this article, we set out to examine the question of scientific ethics in light of what we know about science as a system and about the motivations of the scientists who take part in it. The reader will find that this exercise unearths contradictions that may be especially unpleasant for those who believe clear ethical principles derive directly from the principles of scientific practice."
