Research Ethics

• Use two of the research articles you found in Assessment 1 (References for Assessment 1 listed below). Contemporary published research articles seldom have looming ethical concerns; however, all researchers are solely responsible for their ethical conduct. This not only includes the ethical treatment of participants but also ethics in being truthful about all research procedures and reporting the findings. Reread two of the articles from Assessment 1; pay special attention to the ethical concerns the researchers had to consider when carrying out the study.
• Using the Capella University Library resources, find and read at least four articles regarding ethics in research.
