Description

Navigating ethical issues throughout your research project can be a confusing and daunting task. But why are ethics so important anyway? Can you anticipate or prepare for ethical dilemmas before they happen? And what can you do if they arise in your research? Doing Ethical Research offers essential advice on how to negotiate ethical considerations at each stage of your project, from the approval application to the final report write-up. In particular, the book: - Examines the fundamental importance of ethical research and assessment - Explores hot topics of consent, confidentiality and research relationships - Includes ethical dilemmas and case studies to show how ethics affect real-life research - Gives readers confidence to interpret and critically reflect upon ethical debates Each chapter is packed with clear examples and explanations that are designed to help readers to make their own ethical decisions. It is an essential resource for all researchers, whatever their level or research background.
