Ethics in Research

25.9K
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.

Scientific Nature of Social Psychology

635
Social psychology is a scientific discipline dedicated to understanding how individuals think, feel, and behave in social contexts. Unlike common sense, which relies on anecdotal experiences and intuition, social psychology employs systematic research and empirical methods to ensure objectivity and reliability. This distinction is fundamental in distinguishing scientifically supported findings from mere speculation.Four fundamental scientific values guide a structured approach to research in...

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process

18.9K
The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

Ethics and Bioethics

3.1K
Ethics is a philosophical study of moral actions. Ethics attempts to determine what is valuable for individuals and society. It examines the rational justification of moral judgments and analyzes what is morally just, fair, and right. Bioethics is a sub-discipline of applied ethics that analyzes the philosophical, social, and legal issues in life sciences and medicine. Ethical theories serve as a foundation for decision-making and represent the viewpoints from which people seek direction. They...

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding01:25

Strategies for Assessing and Addressing Confounding

449
Confounding is a critical issue in epidemiological studies, often leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes. It occurs when the relationship between the exposure and the outcome is mixed with the effects of other factors that influence the outcome. Given that, addressing confounding is of high importance for drawing accurate inferences in research.
Confounding can be addressed at both the design phase of a study and through analytical methods after data...

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors01:15

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors

11.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Research Integrity
  • Systems Science
  • Scientific Publishing

Background:

  • Growing concern over the integrity of empirical research due to widespread irreproducible results.
  • Many published findings are false, potentially due to data dredging and flexible analysis.
  • Current solutions' effects are poorly understood and require extensive empirical evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose the application of systems science methods for assessing interventions aimed at improving research integrity.
  • To evaluate the positive and negative effects of proposed solutions like study registration and open data.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing systems science methodologies to model research integrity.
  • Developing three distinct model types: discipline-specific, diffusion of norms, and publication industry models.
  • Conceptualizing researchers and publications within systemic frameworks.

Main Results:

  • Demonstration of how systems science can model the complex dynamics of research integrity.
  • Illustration of three conceptual models applicable to evaluating interventions.
  • Highlighting the potential of systems science for understanding researcher behavior and publication processes.

Conclusions:

  • Systems science offers a powerful framework for evaluating interventions to enhance research integrity.
  • Modeling approaches can provide insights into the efficacy of solutions like Registered Reports and open science practices.
  • This interdisciplinary approach can accelerate the understanding and improvement of scientific research quality.
