As a result, moral conflicts in social and scientific activities have turned into a serious pathology in society. Since many specialists have been concerned about providing moral codes based on Islamic-Iranian culture in recent years, it is necessary to compile the regulations and method of formulation of these codes of conduct. The present paper was written with the aim of compiling a method of formulation for these codes of conduct. Findings show that the formation of codes of conduct has six stages which are as follows: 1. Finding  cases which need moral decisions; 2. Specifying those in charge who need moral codes; 3. Recognizing moral challenges in that science; 4. Determining moral principles; 5. Specifying a fundamental approach in Ethics; and (6) Formulating a moral code of conduct in that science. Of course, it should be noted that some considerations have been proposed regarding the pre-preparation of the code of conduct and also for its utilization.[1] [1].
