Book description
There has been an increasing interest in research ethics over the last
decade given the increasing ethical regulation of social research.
'Ethical literacy' encourages researchers to understand and engage with
the ethical issues that emerge in the process of research. This book
provides a short, succinct and accessible overview of the field,
highlighting the key issues and everyday ethical dilemmas that
researchers are likely to face in different contexts. Covering a range
of methods, the book provides clear guidance for researchers on how to
identify an approach that fits with their moral and intellectual
framework. It explores ethical issues relating to 'traditional' research
methods as well as to new and emerging methods and approaches -
particularly visual and online methods. Illustrated throughout with
real-world examples, this book also includes an annotated bibliography
of key texts and other helpful resources. What are Qualitative Research
Ethics? will be a vital resource for social science researchers across a
range of disciplines. An excellent text - clear, thoughtful and
comprehensive. -- Janet Boddy, Reader In Child, Youth And Family
