    Animal care - Use proper care and due diligence when using animals for research making sure no unecesary harm or greif falls on the animal.

    Respect for colleagues - Respect your colleagues and treat them fairly

    Responsible publication - Publish in order to advance reseach, not just your own personal carrer avoiding duplication or wastage.
