Researchers are generally driven by curiosity and enthusiasm for their field of study. They may want to discover more about human behaviour, reconstruct the history of the earth, develop new technologies, or appreciate how works of art were created. Whatever their field of research, researchers do not operate in a vacuum. They are trained by other researchers, use the methods and tools of their field of research, and have their work judged by colleagues.

Research institutions generally manage research funding and help researchers comply with rules and regulations. Researchers also work for the public, which often funds their work. The public relies on researchers' discoveries to solve problems, develop new technologies and inform decision-making. For this system to work properly, researchers must live up to the duties and obligations that their peers, their institution and the public expect them to embrace.
