Small precentage or not: EEK.

 

They mention an ethical code that scientists writing papers would have to sign in order to maintain ethical work ----> I thought that thing existed already!! isn't there already some sort of committee that oversees Ethical behaviour in science and medicine!?

 

Sheesh, if not, that's S-C-A-R-Y.

The ethical code is for journal editors, not researchers:

 

"The publishing committee wants to formalize this course of action in a code of ethical conduct for editors. It has published a draft of such a code alongside its report, and a final version should be ready in the next few months. The committee wants all editors of medical journals, including its 180 or so members, to sign up to the code and agree to be bound by the associated disciplinary procedures."

Gotcha, I just saw it. Sorry, my bad.

 

Misread.
