This presentation mainly used the ethics policy of this institution, so I didn’t take many notes considering that I have the policy.
The intention of ethics in research is to safeguard human dignity and to promote justice, equality, truth and trust → crtical reflection on morality
Ethics are norms for conduct that distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour
Why is research ethics necessary?
- Promotes the aims of research
- Promotes the values that are essential to collaborative work e.g. trust, accountability, mutual respect, fairness
- Helps to ensure that researchers can be held accountable to the public
- Helps to build public support for research
- Important to develop morale
