Ethics in Research01:56

Ethics in Research

26.1K
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.

Bias01:22

Bias

7.9K
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...

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

11.3K
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...

Accuracy and Errors in Hypothesis Testing01:13

Accuracy and Errors in Hypothesis Testing

667
Hypothesis testing is a fundamental statistical tool that begins with the assumption that the null hypothesis H0 is true. During this process, two types of errors can occur: Type I and Type II. A Type I error refers to the incorrect rejection of a true null hypothesis, while a Type II error involves the failure to reject a false null hypothesis.
In hypothesis testing, the probability of making a Type I error, denoted as α, is commonly set at 0.05. This significance level indicates a 5%...

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

17.5K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Area of Science:

  • Research Integrity and Ethics
  • Academic Administration

Background:

  • Increasing incidence of research misconduct reported in media and academia.
  • Concerns regarding under-reporting, harm to whistleblowers, and inadequate investigation processes.
  • Lack of a universally agreed international definition for research misconduct.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the challenges faced by institutions in investigating research misconduct allegations.
  • To propose improvements for the prevention, detection, investigation, and adjudication of research misconduct.
  • To enhance community confidence in the research endeavor through better oversight.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the current landscape of research misconduct.
  • Evaluation of the Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research.
  • Conceptualization of a centralized, independent oversight mechanism.

Main Results:

  • Existing definitions of research misconduct are comprehensive but institutional investigation processes are often inadequate.
  • Universities and research institutions face difficulties in adjudicating misconduct allegations.
  • A need for a more centralized and independent oversight process is identified.

Conclusions:

  • A centralized, independent oversight process is recommended to support institutions in handling research misconduct.
  • Such a system would bolster the integrity of the research endeavor and maintain public trust.
  • Further development of international standards and investigation protocols is necessary.
