Świadomość konfliktu interesów jako akademicki standard etyczny
Awareness of Conflict of Interest as an Academic Standard of Ethics

Summary/Abstract: The paper shows that conflicts of interest in science undermine its ethos. Some examples of this phenomenon have been analysed from the point of view of its destructive consequences. The need to counter them has also been identified in our country and some legal regulations and self-regulations are gradually being introduced. However, they are not always respected in practice. In the last part of the paper a model of management of risk of bias in scientific research has been outlined. The main thesis says that an awareness of conflict of interest embracing both knowledge of the general issues and relevant assessment of personal risk of lack of objectivism should be an ethical minimum of every scientific worker.
