But before any fingering pattern becomes visible, precursor phenomena can be detected by measuring local fluctuations whose spatial structure appears of a landscape of q-Gaussian “hills and wells”(simulation by P.Grosfils).

    AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Member Services 2018 JANUARY – DECEMBER 2018 GUIDELINES FOR PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT The Constitution of the American Physical Society states that the objective of the Society shall be the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It is the purpose of this statement to advance that objective by presenting ethical guidelines for Society members. Each physicist is a citizen of the community of science. Each shares responsibility for the welfare of this community. Science is best advanced when there is mutual trust, based upon honest behavior, throughout the community. Acts of deception, or any other acts that deliberately compromise the advancement of science, are unacceptable. Honesty must be regarded as the cornerstone of ethics in science. Professional integrity in the formulation, conduct, and report- ing of physics activities reflects not only on the reputations of individual physicists and their organizations, but also on the image and credibility of the physics profession as perceived by scientific colleagues, government and the public. It is important that the tradition of ethical behavior be carefully maintained and transmitted with enthusiasm to future generations. The following are the minimal standards of ethical behavior relating to several critical aspects of the physics profession. Physicists have an individual and a collective responsibility to ensure that there is no compromise with these guidelines. RESEARCH RESULTS The results of research should be recorded and maintained in a form that allows analysis and review. Research data should be immediately available to scientific collaborators. Following publication, the data should be retained for a reasonable period in order to be available promptly and completely to responsible scientists.

  • The Graz Forum on Physics and Society
    The Graz Forum on Physics and Society, Resolution and Recommendations Graz, 21 April 2006 Science in general and physics in particular is one of the basic elements in our culture that sustain our communities. It is also a prerequisite for basic job skills and many of our daily functions. Science and physics are also the foundation for the high technology revolution seen in our societies and the way such technologies influence other societal challenges such as en- vironment, energy supply, and communication and production technologies. Forum Physics and Society, composed of high level physics representatives from 20 European countries and 7 countries outside Europe, has discussed the role of physics and its interaction with society. The Forum, being part of the Austrian EU-Chair program, was cosponsored by the European Physical Society and the World Year of Physics 2005 initiative. The Forum notes the major challenges facing modern science and thus also physics. Global- ization is putting pressure on the “physics enterprise”. The linear innovation model was aban- doned many years ago and more complex systemic models have been introduced, changing the way knowledge is produced, applied, and commercialised in social settings. OECD studies show that a falling share of new tertiary graduates chooses physics as their field of study. Recognizing the central role of physics in the innovation process, the Forum stresses the importance of strengthening physics as a field of study and as a scientific profes- sion. The Forum notes that these challenges are of a global nature and express commitment to address the challenges in Africa. Other regions present similar problems.
