Abstract Recently, the Council of Scientific Society Presidents (CSSP) collected data from its
member organizations regarding codes of ethics. To better understand why such a survey
would be undertaken, this paper begins by examining what is meant by ethics and highlights
some distinctions between law and ethics. It then discusses codes of ethics, stressing their
purposes and functions. Finally, it looks at the results of the CSSP survey and evaluates how
various organizations formulate and implement their codes.
