ABSTRACT

I will argue on the possibility of erosion of scientific objectivity by data selection. It will be treated some problems for research ethics in the course of this argument also. Reasonable data selection might not corrode objectivity. Instead, if empirically significant data are selected or excluded with inadequate reasons, it will do harm objectivity. Though there are selections of experimental data, not always will occur both corrosion of objectivity and violation of research ethics together. By chasing laboratory notebooks, transcripts of conversation and so on, one could supplement researches on published books and articles. Even though there are possibilities for scientific fraud, experimental science mainly has made ways for developing science without violating research ethics.
