A few key points are highlighted:
All people encountered in professional life should be treated with respect. At no time is abusive, demeaning, humiliating, or intimidating behavior acceptable; abuses of power are unacceptable. Scientists should work to provide an environment that encourages the free expression and exchange of scientific ideas. They should promote equality of opportunity and fair treatment for all their colleagues, regardless of gender, race, ethnic and national origin, religion, age, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, disability, veteran status, etc. Scientific ability must be respected wherever it is found.
Harassment, Sexual Harassment, and Bullying are strictly prohibited.
The fabrication, falsification, or selective reporting of data with the intent to mislead or deceive is unethical, unacceptable, and fraudulent, as is the appropriation of unpublished proprietary data or research results from others without permission and attribution. Data obtained from public databases should be cited in accordance with the guidelines and recommendations of the source from which they are obtained. It should be recognized that honest error is an integral part of the scientific enterprise. It is not unethical to be wrong, provided that errors that could be misleading are promptly acknowledged and corrected when they are detected.
