Statement of Responsible Research - a Code of Conduct survey

Four years after the “InterRidge statement of commitment to responsible research practices at deep-sea hydrothermal vents” was published, it seems appropriate to evaluate the potential awareness, relevance and efficiency of this code of conduct. Duke University, in collaboration with InterRidge, propose a survey, dispatched among the scientific community working at hydrothermal vents.

Participate in the survey before March 15th 2010. It will take 5-10 minutes.
