Ethical Considerations

Ethical Considerations

Ethical considerations are essential in research to ensure that studies are conducted fairly, responsibly, and with respect for participants' rights and wellbeing. Researchers must follow ethical guidelines to protect participants from harm, ensure informed consent, maintain confidentiality, and avoid bias or deception. Ethical research also requires honesty in data collection, analysis, and reporting to prevent misleading or falsified results. By following ethical principles, researchers uphold the integrity of their study and contribute to credible, trustworthy knowledge in their field.
