    Study Notes

    Research Ethics

    • Research is defined as an undertaking intended to extend knowledge through a disciplined inquiry or systematic investigation.
    • Systematic methodological scientific approach to find solutions based on facts.
    • Good research yields valuable information but may encounter difficulties in implementation due to sensitive issues.

    History of Research Ethics

    • The 10 Points of the Nuremberg Code:
      • Participation must be voluntary and subjects should have the capacity to give consent.
      • Research should yield useful results that cannot be obtained in any other way.
      • Research should have a sound footing in animal research and be based on the natural history of the problem under study.
      • Steps should be taken to avoid unnecessary physical or psychological harm to subjects.
      • Research should not be conducted if there is reason to believe that death or disability will occur in the subjects.
      • The risk involved in the research should be proportional to the benefits to be obtained.
      • Proper plans should be made and facilities provided to protect the subject from harm.
      • Research should be conducted by highly qualified scientists only.
      • The subject should have the freedom to withdraw at any time if they have reached the conclusion that continuing in the experiment is not possible.
      • Independent review of the design of the research trial, its proposed subject population, and risk-benefit ratio by individuals unaffiliated with the research.

    What Makes Clinical Research Ethical?

    • Independent review of the research trial, its proposed subject population, and risk-benefit ratio by individuals unaffiliated with the research.
    • Informed consent: provision of information to subjects about the purpose of the research, its procedures, potential risks, benefits, and alternatives, so that the individual understands this information and can make a voluntary decision whether to enroll and continue to participate.
    • Respect for potential and enrolled subjects: permitting withdrawal from the research, protecting privacy through confidentiality, informing subjects of newly discovered risks or benefits, informing subjects of results of clinical research, and maintaining the welfare of subjects.

    Research Misconduct

    • Plagiarism, research fraud, and undisclosed conflicts of interest can threaten the integrity of science and one's standing in the scientific community.

    Research Fraud

    • Research fraud involves publishing data or conclusions that were not generated by experiments or observations, but by invention or data manipulation.
    • There are two kinds of research fraud: fabrication and falsification.
    • Policies on manipulation of images and access to reported data are in place to prevent fraud.

    Plagiarism

    • Plagiarism involves deliberately using another's work without permission, credit, or acknowledgment.
    • Plagiarism takes different forms, including literal copying, paraphrasing, and inclusion of data, words, and phrases, and ideas and concepts.
    • Plagiarism has varying levels of severity, depending on the extent and nature of the copied work.
