Ethical Research

I am somewhat familiar with the basis of the Belmont Report on Ethical Principles having done a small end of the semester project on ethics in my methods class. I actually even took a short tutorial lesson over the information for certification within the psychology course. I'm not exactly sure what kind of "outside of publications" type research I will be diving into within my project, however see the need to follow these standard principles if done. If subject interviews is a method I choose, it is critical to always have informed consent: purpose, who I am, arena, and disclosure of personal identify if needed. Each subject shall received the same justice of fairness. Perhaps the most important aspect of any research project is giving credit where credit is needed. In order to do so, a proper bibliography shall be stated. This brings me to my next blog...
