Case Studies for Ethics in Academic Research in the Social Sciences

“The authors do a great job of providing very thought-provoking cases covering a broad array of ethical issues in a variety of social science research settings.” -- Scott Vollum
“These thorough case studies provide an effective gateway for entering into class discussions that can reveal contemporary approaches and understandings of the ethical issues involved in the conduct and publication of social science research. I think the cases presented are exceptionally well thought-out and presented at an appropriate level for graduate students.” -- T. Gregory Barrett
“This book fills a gap in the literature. It is readable. It is a good teaching tool. The broad range of topics covers many issues of concern to all social scientists. Topics overlooked in most textbooks are included here (e.g., consulting, misdeeds, mentor/student relationships, data management, conflict of interests). The case study approach is an excellent way of adding the material to courses on ethics, research methods, or professional practice. The questions provide an opportunity for critical thinking and debate.” -- Sue Ann Taylor
