Ethics and appropriate conduct is critical in undertaking a research program. If one is dealing with anything that has eyes or impacts such a living organism, it is important to, minimally, meet the guidelines for use of these subjects. The Research Office has developed the guidelines and procedures to gain approval for human subjects. If your project includes the use of animals, at Oregon State, one must meet the guidelines for use and caring of the animals.
Conforming to all these procedures is the minimal step towards research success. There are quite a number of less defined necessities of appropriate conduct. These are not particularly ethical trends but rather are the norms within a profession. Following are a number of questions to pose to your mentor or administrator.

Oregon State University does have a policy and procedures for scientific misconduct or there is the OSU Faculty Handbook Allegations of Scientific Misconduct Guidelines. In writing the paper one should avoid plagiarism. There are a number of links which may clarify possible infringement of this area. The University of Minnesota discussion is particularly useful. Baylor College of Medicine also has quite a discussion of particular interest.
