This chapter is part of: Lily Compton et al. 2026. Surviving Research Publication: A Guide for New Scholars

Description

In this chapter, we will briefly review the different components of research ethics, why they matter, and how they impact individual researchers and scholars as well as our institutions. We will focus specifically on Iowa State University’s training policy related to Human Subject Research and the Institutional Review Board that impacts a large subset of our graduate student researchers. We will also address research integrity and research misconduct.
