100 Questions (and Answers) About Research Ethics

• Emily E. Anderson - Loyola University Chicago, USA
• Amy Corneli - Duke University School of Medicine, USA
• Description

100 Questions (and Answers) About Research Ethics is an essential guide for graduate students and researchers in the social and behavioral sciences. It identifies ethical issues that individuals must consider when planning research studies as well as provides guidance on how to address ethical issues that might arise during research implementation. Questions such as assessing risks, to protecting privacy and vulnerable populations, obtaining informed consent, using technology including social media, negotiating the IRB process, and handling data ethically are covered.

Acting as a resource for students developing their thesis and dissertation proposals and for junior faculty designing research, this book reflects the latest U.S. federal research regulations to take effect mostly in January 2018.

“The book is extremely informative, well-organized, and an invaluable tool for students, faculty, and literally all researchers across disciplines. I have taught research methods courses for many years, and the ethics and responsible conduct of research for several years, and found this text to be loaded with easily accessible information I find incredibly useful for teaching these courses. The text answers many questions that students typically ask that take considerable effort to answer and eliminates my concern that I am not always providing the most useful or accurate responses. It is extremely informative and well done and is a must for researchers and practitioners engaged in the research enterprise. Well done in all respects! A+.”

“The approach to the book makes it easy to incorporate in a class setting; it is an ideal reference and quick-check for students, but there is still a great deal of substantive material. The questions can provide a ready jumping off point for class discussions and can easily serve as the foundation for class topics and projects.”

“This book will be helpful to both professional and student researchers. As Chair of my institution's IRB, I will be recommending it to my IRB members, and also to my colleagues who are planning to submit protocols for review.”

KEY FEATURES:

• Emphasizes holistic, broader ethical thinking within the regulatory/compliance framework rather than focusing narrowly on compliance with guidance provided by IRBs and federal regulations.
• Offers guidance for helping potential participants make an informed decision about study participation so that researchers ensure that volunteers understand what it entails and give their informed consent without any coercion.
• Offers guidance for preparing an IRB application, a process that is challenging for even the most seasoned researchers.

Moral and ethical principles are requisite in research to ensure no deception or harm to participants, scientific community, and society occurs. Failure to follow such principles leads to research misconduct, in which case the researcher faces repercussions ranging from withdrawal of an article from publication to potential job loss. This chapter describes the various types of research misconduct that you should be aware of, i.e., data fabrication and falsification, plagiarism, research bias, data integrity, researcher and funder conflicts of interest. A sound comprehension of research ethics will take you a long way in your career.
