Authorial Ethics: How Writers Abuse Their Calling

Autor Robert Hauptman
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 aug 2013
Authorial Ethics is a normative study that deals with the many ways in which writers abuse their commitment to truth and integrity. It is divided by academic discipline and includes chapters on journalism, history, literature, art, psychology, and science, among others. Robert Hauptman offers generalizations and theoretical remarks exemplified by specific cases. Two major abrogations are inadvertent error and purposeful misconduct, which is subdivided into falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism. All of these problems appear in most disciplines, although their negative impact is felt most potently in biomedical research and publication. Professor Mary Lefkowitz, the classicist, provides an incisive foreword.

Recenzii

With abundant lessons drawn from a rogues' gallery of those who lied, cheated, and stole their way into undeserved credit or publication, Robert Hauptman's thoughtful and wide-ranging Authorial Ethics should be required reading for every writer in every field.
Authorial Ethics is ground-breaking, a fascinating examination of the many complex and multifaceted issues in authorship, across disciplines and professions. The fundamental principles represented throughout impact all of us, as writers, scholars, producers, and consumers of texts: Honesty, truth, integrity, justice, responsibility, accountability, beneficence, a sense of fair play, balance, and tolerance must return to the foreground of our attention. Hauptman has once again proven his intellectual rigor, calling our attention to the meta-ethical, meta-rhetorical intricacies of our craft. In an age of 'responsible conduct of research' awareness, Authorial Ethics is a must read.
Introduced with a foreword by eminent classicist Mary Lefkowitz, Authorial Ethics is a normative study that considers the many ways in which writers abuse their commitment to truth and integrity. In case studies divided by academic discipline, it trains a particular focus on literature, journalism and art. Robert Hauptman argues that two major abrogations by authors are inadvertent error and purposeful misconduct.
Hauptman (ret., St. Cloud State Univ.) considers what makes authors spurn 'convention, mores, rule and law' in their pursuit of publication. Rather than delivering just a compilation of cases, Hauptman provides a broader study of the ethical issues writers face. His argument goes beyond the predictable discussion on plagiarism to confront such ethical issues as factual errors, unclear representation of purpose, and ghostwriting for clinical pharmaceutical studies. Hauptman's background as a librarian--applied in his earlier works Ethical Challenges in Librarianship (1988), Ethics and Librarianship (2002), and Documentation: A History and Critique of Attribution, Commentary, Glosses, Marginalia, Notes, Bibliographies, Works-Cited Lists, and Citation Indexing and Analysis (2008)--prepares him for objective consideration of authorial controversies in all disciplines. He divides his discussion of these matters into four sections: 'The Humanities' (by far the longest of the four), 'The Social Sciences,' 'The Sciences,' and 'Other Areas' (the last covers business, economics, and law). This book's broad perspective makes it relevant to writers in all fields. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
