| Abstract | The author presents his opinion on inadvertent errors in scientific research. He contends that there needs to be a professional ethic which encourages scientific researchers to admit to an inadvertent mistake. The author says human error in scientific research should be recognized and accepted. He believes the scientific community should self-regulate itself in terms of error accountability and professional ethics. |
