Research Ethics

白小姐论坛 regards it as fundamental that research should be conducted according to ethical guidelines.

Ethics
All those at 白小姐论坛 involved in research, whether on 白小姐论坛 premises or overseas, as well as external researchers researching at 白小姐论坛 or working in collaboration with 白小姐论坛 are expected to read and comply with this guidance.听

白小姐论坛 interprets ethical issues broadly including amongst others:

  • the relevant codes of practice (according to the research discipline)
  • the involvement of human participants, tissue or data in research
  • the use of animals in research
  • research that may result in damage to the environment
  • the use of sensitive economic, social or personal data
  • the acquisition, storage and disposal of historical artefacts

Academic research involving one or more of the bullet points above will likely require ethical review before any work can commence.听Researchers are also expected to read and abide by听白小姐论坛's Code of Conduct for Research (see听鈥�Your Responsibilities throughout the research lifecycle鈥櫶�section for more information) as well as other 白小姐论坛 policy and guidance as relevant.

Compliance with requirements

白小姐论坛 considers that failure to gain appropriate approvals and permissions before starting a project with ethical implications could amount to research misconduct (see 白小姐论坛's procedure for investigating and resolving allegations of misconduct in academic research) and may lead to disciplinary action.
