PRACTICAL RESEARCH DE UKI Flashcards
It is a systemic and organized process of investigation or inquiry that aims to discover, interpret, or revise facts, theories, applications, or laws.
Research
Unethical and fraudulent practices that compromise the integrity, validity, and reliability of scientific or academic investigations.
Scientific misconducts
Creating, inventing, or manipulating data that never existed, leading to false or misleading findings.
Fabrication
Manipulating or altering data to present a distorted or inaccurate representation of the research result.
Falsification
Presenting someone else’s ideas, words, or work as one’s own without proper acknowledgement, violating the principles of academic honesty.
Plagiarism
It is the unethical practice of dividing a research paper into parts or subsections and sending these parts for publication.
Salami slicing
Forcing someone to be listed as an author against their will or without substantial contribution to the research, typically due to power dynamics or undue influence.
Coercion of Authorship
Refusing to credit an individual who has made a significant contribution to the research, either intentionally or negligently, excluding them from the authorship list.
Denial of Authorship
Including someone as an author who has not made a substantial contribution to the research, often as a favor or for prestige, rather than based on their actual involvement.
Honorary Authorship
Involving individuals in the research process who contribute significantly but are not acknowledged or credited as authors, misleading readers about the true extent of collaboration.
Ghost Authorship
are crucial in research to protect human subjects, maintain public trust, and promote objectivity, accountability, and collaboration.
Ethics
What are the 7 types of Ethical Standards?
- Confidentiality
- Veracity
- Fidelity
- Minimizing Harm
- Informed Consent
- Voluntary
- Fairness and Equity
Refers to the obligation of researchers to prevent unauthorized access to data collected from participants. This means protecting the data from disclosure to unauthorized individuals or groups.
Confidentiality
Refers to the accuracy and truthfulness of the data collected and analyzed. It emphasizes the reliability and credibility of the information used in a study.
Veracity
Refers to the reliability, and dependability of the research findings. It involves the consistency and precision of measurements, procedures, and data collection instruments used in a study.
Fidelity
It involves taking ethical precautions and implementing strategies to protect participants from potential negative consequences associated with the study
Minimizing Harm
It is the process of telling potential research participants about the key elements of a research study and what their participation will involve.
Informed Consent
Any participation in a research study is completely voluntary.
Voluntary
Researchers should ensure fairness in participant selection and avoid biases that could compromise the study’s validity.
Fairness and Equity
What are the General Forms of Research?
- Scientific Research
- Research in the Humanities
- Artistic Research
It is a research method that seeks to explain naturally occurring phenomena.
Scientific Research
Seeks to define the purpose of human existence by tapping into historical facts and future possibilities.
Research in the Humanities
It provides alternative approaches to established concepts by conducting practical methods as substitutes for fundamental and theoretical ones.
Artistic Research
it enables the researcher to organize the components of his or her research in an orderly and coherent manner. It is also a template for the collection, measurement, and analysis of data.
