Technoscientific Research: Methodological And Ethical Aspects

Description

This book contains a synthesis of my methodological and ethical experience accumulated over half a century of academic work in the field of measurement science and its applications in electrical and computer engineering, in physics and chemistry, in biology and medicine, as well as in natural environment protection and food technology. This synthesis has been accomplished during the last decade due to the needs resulting from my responsibility for the courses on methodology and ethics of research, addressed to graduate students of Warsaw University of Technology, and due to more systematic confrontation with the literature of the subject, mainly in English and Polish, but also in German, French, Spanish and Italian. I have cited that literature in this book not only to support my own observations and conclusions, but also to give credit to the authors who actually have influenced my understanding of the subject-matter.
