SLO1
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 In this assessment, I had to write an abstract of 250 words on an unpublished paper.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.

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
