Brief

The document, issued by the Indian Council of Medical Research, outlines a Code of Conduct for research scientists engaged in life sciences. The code aims to prevent the misuse of scientific research for purposes of bioterrorism or bio-warfare and ensures that all research activities are conducted with ethical responsibility. The guidelines emphasize principles such as autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, justice, risk minimization, confidentiality, ethical review, transmission of ethical values, voluntariness, compliance, institutional arrangements, totality of responsibility, and research integrity. These principles are meant to be followed by scientists engaged in research activities involving microbial or other biological agents, or toxins, to ensure that their work does not cause harm to humans, animals, plants, or the environment. The code also emphasizes the importance of ethics and safety reviews, monitoring, and transmission of ethical values to all involved in scientific research. Researchers are expected to adhere to high professional standards, avoid unethical practices such as fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, and give appropriate credit to collaborators. The document concludes with an undertaking that researchers must sign, stating their agreement to abide by the code of conduct during the conduct of scientific/research activities.
