Abstract
Arguing that scientific responsibility is part of the normative content of the right to science, this chapter describes the normative basis and content of the second cluster of rights within the right to science: the right to responsible science. This right imposes two duties on scientists: to respect scientific integrity and to responsible anticipation. The chapter discusses how respect for scientific integrity requires scientists to adhere to the norms of research integrity and scientific citizenry and how the duty to responsible anticipation includes the duty to respect research participants and to anticipate the benefits and harms of scientific progress and its applications. The steps that scientists must implement to discharge both duties are also discussed. The chapter then looks at the role of states in ensuring adherence to scientific responsibility standards and proposes indicators for monitoring adherence.
