Research Ethics provides a platform for sharing experiences and analysis of ethical issues that are related to the design, conduct, impact and oversight of research. Through open and transparent narrative and analysis of ethical issues in research, it serves to raise awareness, challenge assumptions and help find solutions for complex ethical issues.
Ethical issues are not limited to a specific discipline or type of research. The Editors welcome submissions from any research field (for instance, biomedical, social science, environmental, information technology, or the arts) and a broad range of methodological approaches (for instance, clinical trials, animal experimentation, qualitative studies, laboratory or desk-based research).
Some examples of the topics addressed in Research Ethics include:
- Ethical issues related to the inclusion of vulnerable populations in research
- Ethics dumping
- Benefit sharing
- Ethical issues related to social media research
- Research integrity and research misconduct
- The education and training of researchers and ethics reviewers
- The development and implementation of governance mechanisms
In addition to these applied ethics issues, the journal also welcomes original theoretical papers that contribute to the debate around the normative underpinnings or ethical frameworks for research ethics.
Research Ethics publishes original papers and review articles as well as informative case studies and offers a home for submissions from authors from around the world. The quality of submitted articles is evaluated independently by double-blind peer review.
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
