I read with great interest the editorial, "Freedom and Responsibility in Research: The Springdale Case." The problem relative to responsibility of authors to the community is one which always pushes itself into focus when I start writing a report. Personally, I have come to the conclusion that responsibility to the community does not conflict with responsibility to science. As a matter of fact, I have found frequently that attempting to state material coolly and objectively, rather than in terms of personalities and anecdotes, sharpens my understanding of sociological processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
