The Oxford Textbook of Clinical Research Ethics cover

The Oxford Textbook of Clinical Research Ethics is the first comprehensive and systematic reference on clinical research ethics. Under the editorship of experts from the U.S. National Institutes of Health of the United States, the book's 73 chapters offer a wide-ranging and systematic examination of all aspects of research with human beings. Considering the historical triumphs of research as well as its tragedies, the textbook provides a framework for analyzing the ethical aspects of research studies with human beings. Through both conceptual analysis and systematic reviews of empirical data, the contributors examine issues ranging from scientific validity, fair subject selection, risk benefit ratio, independent review, and informed consent to focused consideration of international research ethics, conflicts of interests, and other aspects of responsible conduct of research. The editors of The Oxford Textbook of Clinical Research Ethics offer a work that critically assesses and advances scholarship in the field of human subjects research. Comprehensive in scope and depth, this book will be a crucial resource for researchers in the medical sciences, as well as teachers and students.

"The Oxford Textbook of Clinical Research Ethics is the most comprehensive work on this broad topic to date. It sets a high bar for clinical research writing of any kind and, for that matter, textbooks of any kind...It presents thoughtful analyses of each topic by authorities in the field." --The Journal of Clinical Research Best Practices "Overall, the authors have achieved their goals--comprehensiveness, systematic analysis and wide ranging and international perspectives--providing a valuable resource for all those interested and involved in research. For occupational health professionals, it is a book that should be accessible on the library shelf." --Occupational Medicine
