Study Notes
Research Ethics
- Research ethics refer to the standards of behavior that guide conduct in relation to the rights of those who become the subject of research or are affected by it.
- There are two views on ethics: deontological (acting outside the rules can never be justified) and teleological (an act should be judged by its consequences).
Code of Ethics
- Researchers often refer to a "code of ethics", which can vary and is not exhaustive.
- A code of ethics should avoid poor practice, malpractice, and harm (non-maleficence) and promote beneficence.
General Ethical Principles
- Key principles include:
- Integrity, fairness, and open-mindedness of the researcher
- Respect for others
- Avoidance of harm (non-maleficence)
- Privacy of those taking part
- Voluntary nature of participation and right to withdraw
- Informed consent of those taking part
- Ensuring confidentiality of data and maintenance of anonymity of those taking part
- Responsibility in the analysis of data and reporting of findings
- Compliance in the management of data
- Ensuring the safety of the researcher
Ethical Principles for Internet-Mediated Access
- The internet facilitates access but brings its own issues.
- Ethical principles for internet-mediated access include informed consent, confidentiality of data, analysis of data, management of data, and safety of the researcher.
Data Protection and Management
- Personal data refers to data that identifies individuals directly or makes them identifiable when combined.
- Processing personal data must be:
- Lawful, fair, and transparent
- Obtained for specified, explicit, and lawful purposes
- Adequate, relevant, and limited to the purpose for which they are processed
- Accurate and up to date
- Kept securely and protected
- Held responsibly by the person who controls them
- Techniques to anonymize data include removing identifiers, using pseudonyms, obscuring faces and other identifiers, and data masking and aggregation.
- Data management plans describe what data will be gathered, where it will be stored, for how long it will be stored, and what it will be used for.
