the ethical conduct of research, to include plagiarism. What is knowledge, what
is an explanation?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>An overview of

ethical considerations impinge on research? Is it just to do with plagiarism? Is
research simply about the pursuit of knowledge or are there other values that
underpin it? </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt">Whose interests does research
serve? Just yours? Who pays for it? Does that matter so long as the research
gets done? Suppose that a piece of research results in beneficial knowledge
could it nonetheless be corrupt?</P>
