Question

What are some of the significant ethical concerns associated with evaluation research and how will you address those concerns in your proposed project?

Answer 1

Research is the study of any particular topic to make it more sophisticated and useful. Research is generally the study of scientific research and development, After developing or inventing anything a continuous research on that particular thing make it more sophisticated. generally, scientific methods are used in research.

Research is important to reduce the complexity. In the IT field, there are many hot topics on which continuous research is in process. Cloud Computing, Algorithms are some of the hot topics on which research is going on. Many tech giants working on such topics. Hence, research is very important to reduce complexity and to provide knowledge. in the field of Medicine, Computer Science research plays a very important.

Some of the ethical issue and solution related to the research are as follows;

1) Confidentiality

Confidentiality is one of the major issues in conducting research. Confidentiality is very important because research is a very sensitive field. Discussing research in public or with the people who are not attached in the related project may destroy all your secrets. All the hard work may get ruin without confidentiality. Conducting research is ni as easy as we understand. Confidentiality is must because without confidentiality anyone can come to know about the secrets of the research.

What to do to address such an issue?

• Limited Use of the Internet: The researcher must understand that how sensitive their research is so he must use the internet in limits. Use the internet when necessary unnecessary using of the internet in such sensitive areas may open your secrets publicly.
• Proper use of security measures: follows all the security measures. do not discuss unnecessary about your research. Install proper antivirus and firewall in your system.
• Laws: follow all the rules and laws made by the government.

2) Informed Consent

Another issue related to the research is informed consent. Informed consent means that the persons who are related to the research must have full knowledge of research, benefits, risks.

What to do to address such an issue?

• Maintain confidentiality
• Must work hard to conduct research properly and must follow the timeline
• Right must be given to researchers to quit once research started if they are willing to quit

3) Anonymity

Anonymity means the researchers must remain confidential or unnamed until the research completed. this is one of the major issues. Privacy clause is very important in research and this come under Anonymity

What to do to address such an issue?

Researchers must follow the privacy clause. as discussed conducting research is very sensitive hence privacy is very important.

4) Risk of harm

Another major issue is the Risk of harm which ensures that researchers will not conduct such research where the risk of harm is high. if want to do so they will take proper training first.

What to do to address such an issue?

Conducting risky research may cause dangerous for the researcher and participants so it is necessary to follow all the security measures. Must take proper training before conducting such research. Sometimes research on chemical may make you ill. Hence before conducting research participants must have proper knowledge about the research.
