Research ethics is associated with the very foundations of research practice. From the premises and assumptions that precede the definition of the research problem, to the shape and form of publications, to the protection of participants seen or unseen, researchers face decisions that compel them to consider their own moral compass. This March, SAGE MethodSpace explored these questions in original posts, a webinar and video interviews, and more.
