Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

In the case of systematic errors, the sources can be identified, and the errors can be subsequently minimized by addressing these sources. According to the source, systematic errors can be divided into sampling, instrumental, methodological, and personal errors.
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...

Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Bias

Bias

Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Ethical Issues

Ethical Issues

Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Cross-Sectional Research

Cross-Sectional Research

In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Ethics
Research Integrity
Latin American Studies

Background:

The Interdisciplinary Center for Studies on Bioethics (CIEB) at the University of Chile trains researchers in biomedical and psychosocial ethics.
Research integrity is a critical component of ethical scientific conduct, particularly in the Latin American context.

Purpose of the Study:

To document and analyze the experiences and perspectives of trainees regarding research integrity in Latin America.
To identify key challenges and best practices related to research integrity within the region.

Main Methods:

Qualitative narrative approach detailing trainee experiences.
Thematic analysis of issues including publication integrity, misconduct reporting, and ethical review.

Main Results:

Trainees encountered challenges in publication integrity and reporting scientific misconduct.
Effective functioning of ethical review committees and monitoring of international clinical trials are crucial.
Norms for scientific integrity and ethical oversight require continuous attention.

Conclusions:

Reinforcing training on research integrity is essential for Latin American researchers.
Strengthening ethical review processes and misconduct reporting mechanisms is vital.
Harmonizing norms for scientific integrity and ethical oversight is necessary for advancing research in the region.
