Research Ethics
Resnick, D. B. (2015)
• Ethics in research are very important
when you're going to conduct an
experiment.
Fabrication
• is making up results and recording or reporting
them. It is literally making up data.
Areas of Research Ethics
2. Objectivity
You should aim to avoid bias in any aspect of
your research, including design, data analysis,
interpretation, and peer review. For example, you
should never recommend as a peer reviewer
someone you know, or who you have worked with,
and you should try to ensure that no groups are
inadvertently excluded from your research. This
also means that you need to disclose any personal
or financial interests that may affect your
research.

3. Carefulness
Take care in carrying out your research to
avoid careless mistakes. You should also review
your work carefully and critically to ensure that
your results are credible. It is also important to
keep full records of your research. If you are
asked to act as a peer reviewer, you should take
the time to do the job effectively and fully.
Areas of Research Ethics
4. Openness
You should always be prepared to share your
data and results, along with any new tools that
you have developed, when you publish your
findings, as this helps to further knowledge and
advance science. You should also be open to
criticism and new ideas.
Areas of Research Ethics
5. Respect for Intellectual Property
You should never plagiarize, or copy, other
people’s work and try to pass it off as your own.
You should always ask for permission before using
other people’s tools or methods, unpublished data
or results. Not doing so is plagiarism. Obviously,
you need to respect copyrights and patents,
together with other forms of intellectual
property, and always acknowledge contributions
to your research. If in doubt, acknowledge, to
avoid any risk of plagiarism.
Areas of Research Ethics
6. Confidentiality
You should respect anything that has been
provided in confidence. You should also follow
guidelines on protection of sensitive information
such as patient records.
Social Science & Behavioral Research
• Privacy
• Confidentiality
• Linking behavior
with medical
procedure
Areas of Research Ethics
• Legality
You should always be aware of laws and
regulations that govern your work, and be sure
that you conform to them.
INTEL ISEF RULES & GUIDELINES
7. Animal Care
If you are using animals in your research,
you should always be sure that your
experiments are both necessary and well-
designed. You should also show respect for the
animals you are using, and make sure that they
are properly cared for.
Vertebrate Animals Rules
• is a committee
• must evaluate the potential physical and/or
psychological risk of research involving
humans.
• All proposed human research must be
reviewed and approved by an IRB before
experimentation begins.
• This includes review of any surveys or
questionnaires to be used in a project.
In research using human subjects, several
categories of persons maybe involved:
Normal healthy adults, including the investigator,
and elderly persons
Sick adults, including the acutely and terminally ill
People living in highly controlled situations, such as,
prisoners, soldiers, and students
Children, both healthy and ill
Mentally incompetent persons, whether adults or
children
Unborn fetuses or still living aborted fetuses
NUREMBERG CODE: Informed
Consent
9. Responsible Publication
You should publish to advance to state of
research and knowledge, and not just to
advance your career. This means, in essence,
that you should not publish anything that is
not new, or that duplicates someone else’s
work.
