Abstract: The responsible conduct of research in the biomedical and behavioral 
sciences has received significant attention since the late 1980s. However, very 
little has been written about the responsible conduct of bioethics research. 
Bioethics is an interdisciplinary field and brings together divergent ethical 
standards and practices which may be the source of tension or conflict. This 
article argues that bioethicists should reflect more on ethical issues in the 
responsible conduct of bioethics research through examination of authorship 
practices and peer review. I also outline three possible approaches to promote 
research integrity in bioethics.
