Week 16: Ethics in Social Science Research
In mass media research, the researchers are mostly concerned with humans in order to coilect the data. So it becomes imperaticve to take into consideration the fundamental rights of the subjects and respondents who volunteer for becoming the part of data collection process as respondents. So a researcher needs to follow certain ethical criteria. Research ethics provide a guideline or set of principles that guide researchers in conducting research so that it is done justly and without harming anyone in the process.It is the duty of the researcher to ensure that they are carrying out their research project in line with established ethical standards. Even if we are not dealing with human in case of content analysis, document study, case studt etc, yet every step of the research project, from formulating research question to publication, needs to be informed by ethics to ensure integrity of the project.
