Summary

This title examines the ethical issues and questions which occur in university and professional research. The book helps both beginning and experienced researchers to identify ethical issues when they are conducting research, and attempts to resolve those issues. It examines ethical issues which arise throughout research, from the design stage through to data collection and analysis; investigates topical issues including consent, confidentiality, ethical questions in the dissemination of research; discusses ethical theories and how these may be applied towards resolving ethical problems; and provides examples of ethical dilemmas and case studies throughout the text.
