Maturitas Spring 2009
This book has a world wide approach with careful warnings where some countries still lag behind in their policing of research papers. All researchers should read this book before they commence their projects, and then they should read it again just before submitting their work for possible publication.

The Lancet, March 2009
The book is unique in the way it informs us about historical aspects of the lack of research integrity and provides definitions for misconduct and other forms of scientific dishonesty.

The Write Stuff, Vol 18, No.3 2009
The editors have structured the fourth edition differently from earlier versions... The aim has been to create more of a standard text with an appeal to students and teachers of medical research and publication ethics, as well as academics and those of us from a more commercial background. In fact, anyone with an interest in ensuring the highest standards of conduct in research will benefit from reading this book.

Reviews of previous editions:


Pharmaceutical Medicine
I cannot think that there is any branch of medicine to which the messages which come so clearly from this excellent book may not be applicable

Medical Journal of Australia
You can read all about it in this racy yet scholarly book. I predict you will not be able to lay it down

JAMA
Provides additional stimulus to a discussion that undoubtedly will continue into the future

This book is internationally relevant; from anyone who is involved with biomedical research or has an interest in fraud and misconduct, to the recipients and beneficiaries of research, who are directly affected by unreliable research.
