About research ethics notes

GoConqr Original

Using research ethics notes

Start with Research Ethics for an introduction to the moral foundations of research. Then look at the notes on the SIS project for a different way of organising topics, including voluntary participation, risk, consent and confidentiality.

For a practical example, Recruitment of Participants describes approaches including word of mouth and letters of invitation. Informed Consent Form Guidelines focuses on the language used in a consent form, including keeping sentences short and defining unfamiliar terms.

Move between formats

After reading a note, close it and write down its main points in your own words. Return to the text to check what you included. You could compare how the notes on the SIS project and the consent form guidelines deal with consent.

If you want a visual overview, switch to a mind map on the unit page. When you are ready to check your recall, try a quiz there. Choose a note and work through it at your own pace.
