The quest concerning scientific values, principles, and responsibilities

I recently came across a blog post (Geher, 2020) mentioning the troubles some scientists had in publishing their paper in a scientific peer-reviewed journal. The paper in question (Geher et al., 2020) described a study about academic values in higher education. As a result of coming to know of this paper, I started to wonder what “academic values” even are, and what they could, or perhaps even should, be. This pondering was further strengthened by remembering that I had been looking for papers about what scientific values, principles, and responsibilities could, or should, be a while ago, and not finding a whole lot except a single paper by Popper (1971). The combination of this, and some lingering thoughts I had, led me to think about this all some more. I reasoned a search for thoughts, ideas, and papers about these types of issues could 1) possibly be a useful, interesting, and/or amusing approach to writing a manuscript about this all, and 2) the possible results of such a quest, and writing of a manuscript, could possibly be of some use in further discussing, thinking, and writing about these matters.
