Addressing Unethical and Unprofessional Practices in Statistical Collaboration

As statistical consultants and collaborators, we unfortunately can encounter practices in our interactions with clients that we judge to be unethical or unprofessional. Given that most of us have probably never received much guidance or training on how to respond in such situations, it is hard to know how to proceed in addressing the issue. This is especially true for those who are relatively new to the field of statistical consulting and collaboration. In this session, experienced collaborators will provide some examples of problematic practices they have observed in their own work and discuss what they did to address the matter. The personal experiences presented in this session will prove extremely value to all practicing consultants and collaborators.
