Brown, Nicole – Research Ethics, 2023
The role of research ethics committees, and research ethics issues more broadly are often not viewed in the context of the development of scientific methods and the academic community. This topic piece seeks to redress this gap. I begin with a brief outline of the changes we experience within the social sciences before exploring in more detail…

Resnik, David – Research Ethics, 2023
In the last decade, there has been increased recognition of the importance of disclosing and managing non-financial conflicts of interests to safeguard the objectivity, integrity, and trustworthiness of scientific research. While funding agencies and academic institutions have had policies for addressing non-financial interests in grant peer…

Dove, Edward S.; Douglas, Cristina – Research Ethics, 2023
While ethical norms for conducting academic research in the United Kingdom are relatively clear, there is little empirical understanding of how university research ethics committees (RECs) themselves operate and whether they are seen to operate well. In this article, we offer insights from a project focused on the Scottish university context. We…

Galende-Domínguez, Inés; Rivero-Lezcano, Octavio M. – Research Ethics, 2023
Progress in precision medicine is being achieved through the design of clinical trials that use genetic biomarkers to guide stratification of patients and assignation to treatment or control groups. Genetic analysis of biomarkers is, therefore, essential to complete their objectives, and this involves the study of biological samples from donor…

Holbeach, Naomi; Freckelton A.O. Q.C., Ian; Mol, Ben W. – Research Ethics, 2023
As the burden of misconduct in medical research is increasingly recognised, questions have been raised about how best to address this problem. Whilst there are existing mechanisms for the investigation and management of misconduct in medical literature, they are inadequate to deal with the magnitude of the problem. Journal editors and publishers…

Carniel, Jessica; Hickey, Andrew; Southey, Kim; Brömdal, Annette; Crowley-Cyr, Lynda; Eacersall, Douglas; Farmer, Will; Gehrmann, Richard; Machin, Tanya; Pillay, Yosheen – Research Ethics, 2023
Ethics review processes are frequently perceived as extending from codes and protocols rooted in biomedical disciplines. As a result, many researchers in the humanities and social sciences (HASS) find these processes to be misaligned, if not outrightly obstructive to their research. This leads some scholars to advocate against HASS participation…

Lam, Michelle; Mayuom, Akech – Research Ethics, 2023
This article describes a project involving 13 community focus groups on the topic of anti-racism and belonging where the researchers concluded each group with a robust discussion about how the group would prefer to receive the findings from the project. Analysis of this data, existing literature, and the practical experiences of the researchers…

Davies, Hugh; Munday, Rosie; O'Reilly, Maeve; Hamilton, Catriona Gilmour; Ardahan, Arzhang; Kolstoe, Simon E.; Gillies, Katie – Research Ethics, 2023
Research consent processes must provide potential participants with the necessary information to help them decide if they wish to join a study. On the Oxford 'A' Research Ethics Committee we've found that current research proposals mostly provide adequate detail (even if not in an easily comprehensible format), but often fail to support decision…

Gold, Nicolas E.; Lawson, Ian; Oxtoby, Neil P. – Research Ethics, 2023
Software plays an important role in contemporary research. Aside from its use for administering traditional instruments like surveys and in data analysis, the widespread use of mobile and web apps for social, medical and lifestyle engagement has led to software becoming a research intervention in its own right. For example, it is not unusual to…

Wieslander, Kajsa Norberg; Höglund, Anna T.; Frygner-Holm, Sara; Godskesen, Tove – Research Ethics, 2023
Research ethics committees (RECs) have a crucial role in protecting children in research. However, studies on REC members' perspectives on paediatric research are scarce. We conducted a qualitative study to explore Swedish scientific REC members' perspectives on ethical aspects in applications involving children with severe health conditions. The…

Hosseini, Mohammad; Resnik, David B.; Holmes, Kristi – Research Ethics, 2023
In this article, we discuss ethical issues related to using and disclosing artificial intelligence (AI) tools, such as ChatGPT and other systems based on large language models (LLMs), to write or edit scholarly manuscripts. Some journals, such as "Science," have banned the use of LLMs because of the ethical problems they raise concerning…

Aurini, Janice; Iafolla, Vanessa – Research Ethics, 2023
We draw on three illustrative vignettes to examine how REBs manage participants' agency in the context of qualitative research. We ask: Who owns a participant's consent? Central to informed consent is the principle of "Respect for Persons," which privileges the autonomy of individuals to make decisions about what happens (or not) to…

Palaiologou, Ioanna; Brown, Alice – Research Ethics, 2023
When researching with or about families in home-based research, there are numerous unexpected ethical issues that can emerge, particularly in qualitative research. This paper is based on reflective accounts of four homed-based research projects, two in the UK and two Australia, which examined ethical dilemmas identified when engaged in home-based…

Papastavrou, Vassili; Ryan, Conor – Research Ethics, 2023
Conducting marine mammal research can raise several important ethical issues. For example, the continuation of whaling for commercial purposes despite the international moratorium provides opportunities for scientists to obtain data and tissue samples. In 2021 we analysed 35 peer-reviewed papers reporting research based on collaborations with…

Fernandez, Eduardo J.; McWhorter, Todd J. – Research Ethics, 2023
Research in zoos is an important scientific endeavor that requires several complex considerations in order to occur. Among those many considerations are the ethics involved in conducting zoo research. However, it is not always clear how zoo researchers should go about resolving any research ethics matters, even determining when "some"…
