The artefact that I presented is from one of my subject Australian Vertebrate Fauna. In this assessment, I had to write an abstract of 250 words on an unpublished paper. It consisted of analysing the paper critically and reflecting it in the abstract. It was a difficult task considering that it was my first assessment of the semester and I had no experience of writing an abstract. The more difficult part was that the paper consisted of 30 pages and we had to read through everything and write an abstract highlighting only the key aspects of the paper. The paper was not yet published and the information was placed in a crude manner. I did not know how to write an abstract and what all to include in it. We also had to write a title which

After marking the abstract, our lecturer then uploaded the specifications of the abstract about how it should be written. I was happy that we had another chance to revise our abstract and submit it. I read through all specifications and read again through my abstract, I was shocked to find out that I had missed out on a lot of things. I had included the species name in the title which was not supposed to be included and my introduction was not up to the mark. In the methods section, I had included some unnecessary things like "with the help of Google Earth". Moreover, my conclusion did not link up with the introduction as expected in the abstract. This assessment really taught me a lot about how to analyse the paper and write an abstract. I learnt what key features were to be included in the abstract and how to make it interesting. This was very important for me because in the near future I would also publish a research paper and not now knowing how to write an abstract would have been a serious problem. From now on I will read a lot of scientific papers and try to analyse the key aspects of it to be included in the abstract. I will write it down and compare it to the abstract that they have published. This will help me to get a good grip on writing an abstract and will help me to publish my paper successfully in the future which I hope to get cited a …show more content…
Many ethical norms in research, such as copyright and patenting policies, authorship guidelines, policies for data sharing, and confidentiality rules in peer review, are designed to protect intellectual property interests. Every member of a research group has an ethical responsibility for ensuring the credibility of the project. Ethical lapses in research like fabricating data in a clinical trial can significantly harm human or might even kill them. If proper research techniques are not followed it might lead to the death of several patients and also an embarrassment to the field of science and to the person himself. In the second workshop, we received a poster about the different types of plagiarism which one of the ethics to be followed. In class, we discussed the problems arising due to plagiarizing without even knowing that you
The abstract was written very well and clear. It contained all the elements of an abstract, which are motivation, problem statement, approach, results and conclusion (Koopman, P. 1997). One can easily be motivated by just reading the abstract. The abstract was written in a style that I would even aim, when creating my abstract because it was short, brief and strait to the main points of the whole story. Not only that but also the points were logically presented.
To ensure that a researcher’s enthusiasm for knowledge and understanding doesn’t let them get carried away, clear guidelines for ethical behaviour in research, a Code of Ethics, have been established by governments, institutions and various professional societies such as the American Psychological Association(APA), the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Psychological Society of Ireland (PSI).
The paper responds to this proposition with a thesis that understanding the ethical reasoning provided by students in defending plagiarism is crucial in preventing it in student populations. The reasons can provide the basis for specific action-orientated recommendations to reduce plagiarism and to design programs to encourage originality and
An abstract is a short summary of the article that is written after the rest of the paper is finished. It is the most important paragraph in the document, allowing readers to quickly decide if they want to read the rest. Write the abstract clearly with concise language. Open with the most important points and make each sentence maximally informative. Accurately state the purpose and content of the document. Only report facts, do not evaluate or make additional comments. Include only information found in the body of the article and use the headings to verify accuracy. Format: Do not repeat document title and do not indent. The
In this course, we will focus on research and using it ethically. What experience do you have avoiding plagiarism, and why is that an important skill to
An abstract is something your write after you have finished your paper that sums up what you have written. It should be noted, however, that even though this is generally the last thing you write, it is placed at the beginning of the paper. The abstract should never introduce new material, only sum up what is written in the paper. To
Anderson, (2015) states that an abstract should give the research questions, outline the methods used- and why and summaries the research. In this article the
Dear journal, today in class I did a multiple choice on the Ethics of Research. I learnt so much from that activity from protecting participants from harm to inform consent. I have erudite that ethical considerations are a significant feature of research that all teacher researcher should be knowledgeable about. During class, the first thought came to my mind about ethics was rules for distinguishing right or wrong. According to Resnik (2015) he believes that Ethics is a norm that distinguish between what is acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. I think it is imperative for me to adhere to the ethical norms in research in which i will have Informed consent to avoid deception, confidentiality, anonymity, protecting an individual from harm.
Around December of last year, finals were quickly approaching, and three of my finals involved writing. For AP English III, we were tasked with writing an analysis of the theme of F. Scott Fitzgerald's, The Great Gatsby. Analytical English papers involve the writer's opinion, a writing structure, eloquent sentences that flow together to create a clear and concise message, and, of course, a thesis that addresses the main idea of the essay. To supplement our final exam in College Chemistry, we performed a lab experiment, followed by a lab write up. The write up, unlike the English paper, contained an unbiased perspective, statistical data, and a detailed explanation of the procedure we followed. Finally, my AP World History instructor assigned
Read the CU Denver policy for research misconduct and either the Department of Health and Human Services or National Science Foundation's policy for research misconduct and answer the following questions:
We think that the models of these two extremes—the intense rapid impact of a toxin or stroke versus the slow but cumulative damage occurring from a deficient environment—can serve us well as we develop training programs in research ethics. For here, too, one can describe two extremes: The high crimes consist of the clearly toxic cardinal sins of science – falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism. One should not alter data (falsification) except as a result of standard research practice (i.e., appropriate statistical procedures). One should not publish data that were not actually collected (fabrication). And one should not steal the work of others (plagiarism) by using their ideas, methods, or data without proper attribution. To falsify or
Additionally, abstracts are important since they affect the readers’ decision making about whether the accompanying article is worth reading. Accordingly, Swales (1990) proposes that abstract is an advance indicator of the content and structure and a representation of an article. On the other hand, despite sharing some common features of the RA, the abstract constitutes a genre in its own right and it differs in its rhetorical structure (Lorés, 2004).
Write the abstract here. Write a concise summary of the key points of your research. (Do not indent.) Your abstract should contain at least your research topic, research questions, participants, methods, results, data analysis, and conclusions. You may also include possible implications of your research and future work you see connected with your findings. Your abstract should be a single paragraph double-spaced. Your abstract should be between 150 and 250 words.
Plagiarism is the process of taking some one else work or ideas and showing it as their own works (Oxford Dictionaries). The purpose of this study is to understand 6 different ethical reasons used by student to overcome with plagiarism and with help of these ethical reason, faculties can bring a solution to stop or prevent plagiarism. Where as unethical behavior can also lead to worries in school or colleges, so there is need to correct it so that it has positive impact on organizational ethics. Although, after reading this journal article, it was clearly seen that mostly used ethical reasons are Deontology, Situational Ethics and Machiavellianism to overcome with the problem of Plagiarism (Ashworth and Bannister, 1997).
The race to make significant medical and pharmaceutical discovery has become more and more intense over the past century. It becomes a great temptation for some ambitious scientists to steal and claim unpublished data as their own or to unfairly use them. Although sharing unpublished data allows researchers to communicate their ongoing study with the peers, through which they may gain very valuable opinions, such data are supposed to be confidential or be used with permission from the researchers. Furthermore, the scientific researchers need to be fully credited and recognized their contribution to the unpublished data. Unauthorized use of the data or failure to give full credit to important evidence is considered a serious infringement of scientific ethics [1]. One of Such unethical behaviors is handing unpublished data to the competitors, to which the research group may lose its race and the possible research grant and honor. Another unethical behavior is claiming the unpublished data as one’s own without giving credit to the researcher who creates the work. In this situation, the researchers are unfairly treated and they don’t gain their deserved credit. Such misconducts harm the scientific community as well as the development of science. This paper discusses the ethical issues raised from unjust use of unpublished data, in hope of bringing more awareness to such issue. In the end, it proposes some guidelines to deter the infringement.
