Ethical and Logistical Issues in Research: Human Subjects, Informed Consent, Researcher Integrity and Dissemination of Findings
A research unit on the ethics of investigation that opens with the abuses of the 1940s - the freezing and sulphonamide experiments, the measurements taken on prisoners and the Japanese atrocities - and the codes those cases produced. The ethical issues are then grouped into those concerning human subjects, with rights, freedom from harm, confidentiality, anonymity, informed consent and vulnerable groups; those concerning the individual researcher, with plagiarism, fraud and misuse of privileges; and those concerning the research process, with experimental designs, the use of tests, financial and sponsored research and the dissemination of findings.
