Research integrity: an overview of an international study about QRPs. - University of Trento

Discussions of research ethics typically focus on the regulatory compliance needed to protect human subjects. Such compliance, while essential, represents only a fraction of the ethical considerations that emerge throughout the research process, from the choice about what to study and how to study it through analysis and dissemination of findings. Attention to these considerations is especially important for researchers in social work and social sciences involving vulnerable populations, and related issues of social justice. Using examples and the literature from a variety of fields, this seminar examines ethical dilemmas, and the awareness, integrity and resources needed to address them
