Finding the Physics Code of Ethics

Click For Summary
A universal code of ethics for Physics does not exist; however, various professional organizations have their own codes. In the U.S., the American Physical Society (APS) provides a code of conduct for its members, which can be accessed online. The original poster struggled to find this information despite searching the APS and AIP websites. The APS code of conduct link was shared as a helpful resource. This discussion highlights the importance of specific organizational codes in the field of Physics.

Can someone please tell me where I may find a page with the 'Code of Ethics' for Physics? In my Humanities class, we are required to bring in a copy of the code of ethics for our major...and mine is Physics; however, I have looked in a few places online with no avail.

Any help, links, etc. are greatly appreciated.

In the US, the physicists professional society is the Americal Physical Society. The code of conduct for APS members can be found at:

Exactly what I needed! Thanks a ton!

I searched the APS and AIP sites this morning for about 10-minutes each and never came across anything by searching. I figured they had to have a code somewhere though.

Thanks again.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Someone who shows interest in science is initially a welcome development. So are fresh ideas from unexpected quarters. In contrast, there is a scientific community that is meticulously organized down to the last detail, allowing little to no external influence. With the invention of social media and other sites on the internet competing for content, unprecedented opportunities have opened up for...
