Question 15

Review and explain the guidelines for ethical reporting of research results. Do you believe that
any additional guidelines should be followed?
Your Answer:
Bachman and Schutt (2021) provide a comprehensive set of guidelines for ethical reporting of
research results. These guidelines aim to ensure that researchers conduct research that protects
the rights of participants, and produces valid and reliable results.
Here are some of the key guidelines for ethical reporting of research results, as outlined in the
book:
Report results accurately and honestly:
Researchers should report their findings accurately and honestly and avoid any intentional or
unintentional distortion of data, which includes reporting both significant and non-significant
results and being transparent about any limitations or shortcomings of the study (Bachman &
Schutt, 2021).
Report significant changes in hypothesis or research design.
Respect the dignity of human subjects:
Researchers should respect the dignity and autonomy of individuals who participate in their
studies, which means obtaining informed consent, protecting confidentiality, and avoiding any
actions that might cause harm or discomfort to participants (Bachman & Schutt, 2021).
Avoid misleadingly using statistics or graphs.
Avoid conflicts of interest:
Researchers should avoid conflicts that might compromise their objectivity or integrity, including
financial or professional relationships that could influence the study results (Bachman & Schutt,
2021).
Acknowledgment of research sponsors:
Researchers should acknowledge the research sponsors and thank the staff who made major
contributions, which helps others to consider any potential biases that may have influenced the
results (Bachman & Schutt, 2021).
Appropriate use of coauthored reports:
Researcher should discuss and agree upon a clear authorship order beforehand. This order should
reflect agreed-upon principles and consider the needs and concerns of all coauthors (Bachman &
Schutt, 2021).
Respect the intellectual property of others:
Researchers should respect the intellectual property rights of others, including citing sources
appropriately and avoiding plagiarism (Bachman & Schutt, 2021).
These guidelines provide a sound foundation for ethical reporting of research results. However, it
is worth noting that additional guidelines or ethical considerations may apply to specific fields or
types of research. For example, research involving animals or sensitive topics such as drug use or
sexual behavior may require additional ethical considerations. Additionally, researchers must
always be mindful of evolving ethical standards and best practices in their field and remain
vigilant about potential ethical issues that may arise during their research.
