Research Ethics, Trends & Challenges to the Research Integrity

Last updated on Friday, October 2nd, 2020

What are research ethics? Research is a process to bring the undiscovered information and observations in the knowledge of the scientific community. Here, publications of the articles include the research progress in terms of the procedure, results, and analysis for further references. 

Research Ethics

Ethical research always provides an organized structure in the content. As you know, that individuals’ curiosity always searches existed information for the refinement of future approaches. The Successive processes help scholars to explore reality. This is the reason, one who is curious to find the solutions of any specific problem in a specific domain, always follows the findings of earlier work to understand the problem in a better way.

Now, the publishers are responsible to publish the journals for the documentations of these domain-oriented genuine, and authentic research progress in terms of the original and review research articles.

Ethical Issues in Research

Further, the training of research work and publications are two major components of the research integrity. In our academic system for the research degree, a scholar either chooses the topic itself or provided by the supervisor on the basis of problems, in ongoing research.

The well established genuine group follows the established models and/or experimental techniques (or design itself), so publish ethically in the quality journals. They are aware of the problems and put their scientific solutions in a genuine way with authenticity.

4. Ranking of the Institutions
