This book adopts a case-based approach to help researchers understand and apply the basic principles of ethical research, focusing on social and behavioral sciences, arts, humanities, and technology. It is particularly valuable for new researchers and educators, while also providing insights for experienced researchers into ethical principles and their application.
 

The book features both brief and expanded cases. The brief cases illuminate the layers involved in applying the ethical research principles discussed in the first chapter. The expanded cases challenge readers to navigate the nuances, complexity, and multidimensionality of conducting ethically sound research from start to finish. The final chapter addresses the tensions researchers experience and demonstrates how ethical principles can guide decision-making beyond perfunctory compliance.
