2. Research ethics is a field of ethics that works to apply moral principles
to scientific pursuits, particularly research. In addition, research ethics
educates and monitors scientists conducting research to ensure ahigh
ethical standard.
Why Be Concerned About Ethics in Research?
1- Research ethics provide a guideline or set of principles that
support researchers in conducting research so that it is done
justly and without harming anyone in the process.
2-If the objective of research is to “discover new information or
expand and verify existing knowledge” it is important when
conducting research involving people that this knowledge does
not come at the expense of their welfare or rights.
3-It is the duty of the researcher to ensure they are carrying out their
research project in line with established ethical standards.
4-Every step of the research project, from formulating your research
question to publication, needs to be informed by ethics to ensure
integrity of the project.

3. Principles of Research Ethics
1- Respect for autonomy
It refers to the requirement to ensure that research
participants are entirely free to make a choice about their
participation in a research study.
2- Non-maleficence
It means that researchers have an obligation not to inflict
harm on their study participants.
3-Beneficence
This principle states that research should:
A -Do no harm
B -Maximize benefits for participants and minimize risks for
participants
4. Justice
This principal deals with the concept of fairness that means
treating people equally and fairly and ensuring that they are
accorded their full rights, and also indicates that questions being
asked in trials should be of relevance to the communities
participating in the study.
