Based on the notion of ‘virtue’ ethics, this book proposes an alternative approach to research, which focuses not only on ethical rules and protocol to avoid unethical research, but encourages academic, professional and character development and allows for the exercise of personal judgement.
Themes considered include:
Increased competitiveness between academics and concentration of funding in fewer universities
Increasingly bureaucratic approval of processes focused on the treatment of human and animals in research
Meeting the expectations of research sponsors
‘Taboo’ research topics and methods
Exposing findings to the scrutiny of peers, taking credit for the work of others and self-citation
Bullying of junior researchers and plagiarism
Power and influence of institutional, discipline-based and professional organisations
Illustrated throughout with short narratives detailing ethical issues and dilemmas from international academic researchers representing different disciplines, research cultures and national contexts, this books proposes a an alternative approach to research which provides all research professionals with the intellectual tools they need to cope with complex research.
