What are research ethics?
Research ethics involves the application of fundamental ethical principles to a variety of topics involving scientific research.
The scientific research enterprise is built on a foundation of trust. Scientists trust that the results reported by others are valid. Society trusts that the results of research reflect an honest attempt by scientists to describe the world accurately and without bias. But this trust will endure only if the scientific community devotes itself to exemplifying and transmitting the values associated with ethical scientific conduct.

ReplyDeleteResearch ethics is a very broad subject, there are many types which could be considered such as scientific, meical, technological, human and many more. You could have added a few of these differet types and maybe given a short description on a select few of them. Good short, simple explanation though.
