Ethics In Research
Although the last few years in the ethics of research have been tumultuous ones,it is beginning to appear that a new consensus is evolving that involves the

Extractions: Home Language Of Research Philosophy of Research [ Ethics in Research ] Conceptualizing Evaluation Research We are going through a time of profound change in our understanding of the ethics of applied social research. From the time immediately after World War II until the early 1990s, there was a gradually developing consensus about the key ethical principles that should underlie the research endeavor. Two marker events stand out (among many others) as symbolic of this consensus. The Nuremberg War Crimes Trial following World War II brought to public view the ways German scientists had used captive human subjects as subjects in oftentimes gruesome experiments. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study involved the withholding of known effective treatment for syphilis from African-American participants who were infected. Events like these forced the reexamination of ethical standards and the gradual development of a consensus that potential human subjects needed to be protected from being used as 'guinea pigs' in scientific research. By the 1990s, the dynamics of the situation changed. Cancer patients and persons with AIDS fought publicly with the medical research establishment about the long time needed to get approval for and complete research into potential cures for fatal diseases. In many cases, it is the ethical assumptions of the previous thirty years that drive this 'go-slow' mentality. After all, we would rather risk denying treatment for a while until we achieve enough confidence in a treatment, rather than run the risk of harming innocent people (as in the Nuremberg and Tuskegee events). But now, those who were threatened with fatal illness were saying to the research establishment that they

Extractions: Psychological studies often raise many questions about ethics and human rights. In some cases researchers, in their quest to study some psychological process, may intrude on the right to privacy of others. Do researchers have the right to watch people as they go about their social lives in grocery stores, on street corners, in classrooms, and in public restrooms? Researchers may also deliberately deceive their subjects by giving them a cover story that provides a rationale for the manipulations and measurements, or expose them to painful stimuli to test their reactions. Researchers also risk harming their subjects as they test their hypotheses. Investigators who upset subjects by asking them to recall painful periods in their lives, ask subjects to withstand pain caused by cold water as long as they can, or pressure them to act in immoral ways cause participants psychological distress. And the most frequent wrong committed by researchers is probably the most overlooked: each year researchers waste people's time in pointless research efforts that will never yield one iota of insight into human behavior. Doing research with (and on) humans raises many questions. The following links explore some of these questions. You can complete the links in any order you wish, but its recommended that you start by completing the "self-quiz." And be sure to read the "Examples of Ethically Controversial Studies," since we will be discussing them in class.

Extractions: Listing of University of Toronto Policy Documentation PREAMBLE The successful conduct of science and engineering rests upon a reverence for truth, which is also one of its major objectives. Academic research is made possible, directly or indirectly, by the public whose support is predicated on confidence in the integrity of scientists/engineers and their institutions. Universities, research granting agencies and scientific journals correctly argue that the public interest is best served when they are permitted to be self-governing and self-regulating. However, society will accept this argument only to the extent that these institutions are able and prepared to maintain a climate of research integrity and to police themselves effectively. This includes dealing appropriately with misconduct in research. The public trust requires that academic institutions, such as the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering, have in place effective policies to deal with them.

Extractions: Site Visit and Education Co-ordinator ince its creation about one and a half years ago, the NCEHR website has constantly evolved to meet the needs of a diverse clientele. The first step essentially dealt with NCEHRs public image: information on the Council, its mandate and the range of services it offers. The "Who We Are" and " What We Do" sections are full of useful information on NCEHR activities. The section on "Site Visits" is particularly interesting because you will find a status report on REBs across Canada. This report, although it includes only REBs working within faculties of medicine, and was published in 1995, is still quite current because even if the context has evolved, the difficulties encountered by REBs are essentially the same.

Extractions: Chapters Committees Sections Home Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice American Statistical Association Prepared by the Committee on Professional Ethics Approved by the Board of Directors, August 7, 1999 Executive Summary This document contains two parts: I. Preamble and II. Ethical Guidelines The Preamble addresses A. Purpose of the Guidelines, B. Statistics and Society, and C. Shared Values. The purpose of the document is to encourage ethical and effective statistical work in morally conducive working environments. It is also intended to assist students in learning to perform statistical work responsibly. Statistics plays a vital role in many aspects of science, the economy, governance, and even entertainment. It is important that all statistical practitioners recognize their potential impact on the broader society and the attendant ethical obligations to perform their work responsibly. Furthermore, practitioners are encouraged to exercise "good professional citizenship" in order to improve the public climate for, understanding of, and respect for the use of statistics throughout its range of applications. The Ethical Guidelines address eight general topic areas and specify important ethical considerations under each topic.

Extractions: 3.2.3 ETHICS IN RESEARCH (a) Introduction Research and other scholarly activity at the University of Oklahoma must be above reproach. Each member of the University community has the responsibility to ensure the integrity and ethical standards in any activity with which he or she is associated directly, or any activity of which there is sufficient knowledge to determine its appropriateness. Misconduct in the conduct of research undermines the scholarly enterprise and erodes the public trust in the University community to conduct research and communicate results using the highest standards and ethical practices. The University of Oklahoma is responsible both for promoting scholarly practices that prevent misconduct and for developing policies and procedures for dealing with allegations or other evidence of scholarly or research misconduct. This policy establishes uniform policies and procedures for investigating and reporting instances of alleged or apparent misconduct involving research, including but not limited to, research or research training, applications for support of research or research training, applications for research or research training, or related research activities that are supported with funds made available under the Public Health Service Act. The policies and procedures outlined below apply to faculty, staff and students. They are not intended to address all scholarly issues of an ethical nature. For example, discrimination and affirmative action issues are covered by other institutional policies.
