The new Independent Research Ethics Committee is an interesting idea - as a researcher in the voluntary sector there are very few structured ways to get external ethics review for research that doesn't fall into MRC/NIHR/university buckets. Worth a look.

I've just posted on my blog about the International Research Ethics Committee needing panel members. Your help can make a difference! Check it out & spread the word: https://lnkd.in/eztJQghu #IREC #ResearchEthics

This is an important initiative providing a much needed service to the R&I sector. The committee are looking to diversify - read the blog as that looks quite different in this case! Do consider applying if you can, it’s useful experience. #IREC #researchethics

One of the goal of the "Workshop on Ethics in Modern Statistical Organisations" is to start the process for the drafting of the reference book on Ethics and Official Statistics. Drawing upon contributions from leading statisticians, ethicists, policymakers, and practitioners from around the world, the "Reference Book on Ethics” and Official Statistics encompassed a wide range of topics essential to the ethical governance of official statistics. The "Reference Book on Ethics" served as an invaluable resource for statisticians, policymakers, researchers, and students alike, providing practical guidance, case studies, and theoretical insights to navigate the complex ethical terrain of official statistics. It represented a milestone in the ongoing quest to ensure that statistics not only inform public policy and decision-making but also uphold the highest ethical standards, safeguarding the trust and confidence of society in the integrity of official data. https://lnkd.in/drz3y4aK #unece #nso #offcialstatistics #statistics #HLGMOS #ModernStats #Ethics #CapComm

🌟 The Importance of Research Ethics: Guidelines for Conducting Ethical Research 🌟 In the ever-evolving landscape of research across all disciplines, maintaining the highest standards of ethics is not just an expectation but a foundational necessity. Ethical research practices ensure the integrity of the research process, safeguard the welfare of participants, and enhance the quality and validity of the findings. But what makes research ethical, and how can researchers ensure they're adhering to these crucial guidelines? Research ethics encompass a broad spectrum of principles, including respect for confidentiality and privacy, informed consent, and the avoidance of any form of deception or harm. It's about ensuring transparency in the methodology, analysis, and reporting of results, and recognizing the impact our research can have on society and the environment. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just starting out, understanding and applying ethical guidelines is crucial. It not only protects participants but also builds trust in the research community and with the public. Moreover, it's about creating a body of work that's not only credible but also truly contributes to the greater good. As we delve deeper into the principles of ethical research, let's remember that these guidelines are not just checkboxes to tick off but values to uphold. They inspire integrity, respect, and excellence in our work. 📌 For those looking to dive deeper into this topic, we've got you covered! Check out our latest YouTube video where we break down the guidelines for conducting ethical research, share insights from experts in the field, and provide practical tips to ensure your research is conducted ethically and responsibly. Let's commit to making ethical considerations the heart of our research endeavors. Together, we can contribute to a research culture that values integrity above all. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gu-mDxnC #ResearchEthics #EthicalResearch #IntegrityInResearch #ScienceCommunity

Research Rockstars: Ethics in Action - Be a Responsible Researcher! Research success thrives on ethics! Let's explore responsible research conduct (RRC) to ensure your work is not only impactful but also ethical and trustworthy. 1. Respect Participants: Obtain informed consent and ensure anonymity and confidentiality where necessary. Minimize risks and address any concerns with transparency and honesty. 2. Honesty & Integrity: Accurately represent your data and findings, avoiding fabrication or manipulation. Cite sources properly and acknowledge the work of others. 3. Conflict of Interest: Disclose any potential conflicts that could influence your research, like financial ties or personal interests. Manage conflicts to ensure objectivity and maintain public trust. 4. Data Management & Sharing: Securely store and protect your research data in accordance with regulations. Consider data sharing agreements and ethical implications of dissemination. 5. Responsible Authorship: Give credit to all individuals who contributed significantly to your research. Discuss authorship order transparently and avoid ghost authorship. Remember, research rockstars: RRC is not just about rules, it's about building trust and ensuring positive research impact. Stay informed about evolving ethical guidelines and best practices in your field. Seek guidance from mentors or ethics committees if you face ethical dilemmas. Share your thoughts: What RRC challenges have you encountered? How can we create a more ethical research environment? Discuss in the comments! #researchconduct #researchintegrity #researchethics #responsibleresearch #researchcommunity #linkedinlearning

Looking forward to participating in the Annual Ethics Day Conference -> Ethical Research is in everybody's interest. I think we also need to be mindful of Responsible Collaborative Research #RCR #ethics #collaboration #teamscience https://lnkd.in/e22RpZ6m

Level Up on Ethics! 🚀 I'm excited to share that I recently completed a comprehensive course on Health Research Ethics. It's been a deep dive into the critical principles that guide responsible research involving human participants. This knowledge will be invaluable in my work, allowing me to make informed decisions about research participation, sponsorship, or collaboration; Contribute to ethical research practices that prioritize participant well-being and scientific integrity, and navigate complex ethical dilemmas that arise in the research landscape. Would love to connect with others passionate about ethical research! 🤝 #ethics #healthresearch #informedconsent #clinicaltrials #researchintegrity
