Abstract
Ethics, in principle, is what distinguishes the acceptable from unacceptable. The role of ethics in biomedical research and publication has a new found growing importance in the recent times. Its initial role was merely in safeguarding the participant’s interests. The role of ethics in biomedical research has now expanded by encompassing not only the safety and integrity of subjects, but also in curbing the unlawful practices in the publication of the study material. Violation of the rules laid by the various regulatory bodies is now considered an offence. This article aims to give a crisp and concise picture of the role of ethics, various misconducts and its repercussions, in clinical study and publication in today’s time.
