Ethics are moral principles that govern the conduct of individuals. Research ethics provide guidelines for the responsible conduct of research including collection of data, its analysis, dissemination and further storage and retrieval of research data. Research ethics are important for both their educational and monitoring roles to ensure that all research is conducted to a high ethical standard.
There are various disciplines and programs at FLAME University which involve the participation of human subjects or have an impact on them or on the wider society and environment. Therefore, it is essential that all researchers, including Faculty, students and staff researchers understand ethical issues and the implications of their work and act accordingly.
For making ethical judgment, researchers typically rely on standards that are either universal or specific to the culture or locations. It is ideal if researchers can share and discuss possible ethical implications of their work and evolve collective standards of their own.
For further details regarding code of ethics in research, the university members and students may refer to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) policy document on my.flame.edu.in.
