Research Ethics & Ethical Considerations in Science
Explore the moral principles that govern scientific research from informed consent and data integrity to conflict of interest and the protection of research participants.
What You'll Learn
Five core principles guide ethical research: beneficence, autonomy, justice, non-maleficence, confidentiality.
Informed consent ensures participants voluntarily agree before any research study begins.
Research misconduct includes fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, and selective data reporting.
IRBs and peer review serve as institutional safeguards protecting participants and scientific integrity.
What You'll Practice
1
Students apply ethical principles to real-world human and animal research scenarios.
2
Questions test recognition of misconduct types including fabrication, falsification, and plagiarism.
3
Learners evaluate conflicts of interest, consent violations, and institutional oversight roles.
Why This Matters
