Prof. Buchheit touched upon the research ethics problems encountered during research in the fields of biomedical sciences, health sciences and social sciences. Problems such as protection of intellectual property in scientific projects, management of conflicts of interest, impartiality and non-discrimination in the editing and refereeing processes were extensively discussed. The importance of upholding responsible conduct of research was discussed by preserving the ethical values of honesty, respect, transparency, public accountability, reliability, and trust by experience.
