- The research problem or topic must be feasible in terms of financing, data availability, and accessibility.
- The research problem or topic should be researchable, manageable, and completable within a reasonable period of time.
- The research should be significant, important, and relevant to the present time and situation, with practical and implementable results.
Ethical Principles in Research
- Objectivity: avoid bias in experimental design, data analysis, data interpretation, peer review, personnel decisions, grant writing, expert testimony, and other aspects of research.
- Integrity: keep promises and agreements, act with sincerity, and strive for consistency of thought and action.
- Openness: share data, results, ideas, tools, and resources, and be open to criticism and new ideas.
- Confidentiality: protect confidential communications, such as papers or grants submitted for publication, personnel records, trade or military secrets, and patient records.
