It is important to be aware of the legal and ethical frameworks within which research is undertaken and of the steps that are available to prevent fraudulent and dishonest research being undertaken and written up. This book, originally put together by Stephen Lock, an editor of the British Medical Journal, and now revised extensively by Michael Farthing, editor of the gastroenterology journal Gut, provides an overview of the entire topic. Background material on the regulatory frameworks, in North America as well as Europe, is laid out in detail, and the history of fraud and misconduct is illustrated admirably by contributions from Stephen Lock and Frank Wells, a co-editor and expert in ethical and legal issues relating to the pharmaceutical industry. A series of slightly less riveting accounts of individual country’s approaches to research fraud follows, with the best chapters coming towards the end, where personal experiences are used to illuminate the devastating effects that involvement in research fraud can have for patients and practitioners. Michael Farthing has contributed an excellent editorial view on research misconduct to conclude the book.
