Video interview: Kate Chatfield, Editor of Research Ethics on research relevance
Learn about research relevance from journal editors
The focus for 2022 is Research<>Relevance. Since scholarly journals are one of the main channels for disseminating research, throughout the month of January we will explore ways they are rising to meet the current challenges in the field. How are journals meeting needs of their readers, contributors, and the public in these changing times? What methodologies and methods are drawing the most attention, and how can researchers prepare successful submissions?
Find current and archived articles for the Research Ethics journal.
To explore these questions I am interviewing editors and editorial board members from five SAGE research journals. I selected journals that are entirely or mostly open-access: International Journal of Qualitative Methods, Social Media + Society, Big Data & Society, Journal of Mixed Methods, and Research Ethics. I am asking the same questions of all the editors or board members, and at the conclusion of the series I will offer a comparison and synthesis of key points. Find the unfolding series here, including posts that highlight each respective journal’s most read and cited articles.
Interview with Kate Chatfield, Editor, Research Ethics
The Research Ethics Journal covers a wide range of ethical issues associated with the conduct of research, the regulation of research, the procedures and process of ethical review as well as broader ethical issues related to research such as scientific integrity and the end uses of research. A partnership with Knowledge Unlatched means all articles in Research Ethics, including the archives, are open access. This support from Knowledge Unlatched means there are no submission charges and no article processing charges (APCSs) and no direct charge to authors.
