The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available
to read online. The EU-funded PRO-RES Project aimed to produce a
guidance framework that helps to deliver Responsible Research and
Innovation (RRI). PRO-RES is a Horizon 2020 project coordinated by
the European Science Foundation (ESF), involving 14 different
partners across Europe. As one of a series of open access products
of the Project, Ethical Issues in Covert, Security and Surveillance
Research will be placed in the hands of policymakers and their
advisors to offer practical and efficient ways to respond to the
issues addressed. Understanding that the problem of covert research
and surveillance research for security purposes have proven highly
challenging for all research ethics appraisal services, the
chapters here are valuable resources for expert reviewers, helping
further the discussion of these complex ethical issues, and raising
the standards applied to the process. Delivering an applied
approach, and influencing where it counts, this volume showcases
that it is only when the integrity of research is carefully pursued
can users of the evidence produced be assured of its value and its
ethical credentials.
EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. This
important book offers practical advice for using evidence and
research in policymaking. The book has two aims. First, it builds a
case for ethics and global values in research and knowledge
exchange, and second, it examines specific policy areas and how
evidence can guide practice. The book covers important policy areas
including the GM debate, the environment, Black Lives Matter and
COVID-19. Each chapter assesses the ethical challenges, the status
of evidence in explaining or describing the issue and possible
solutions to the problem. The book will enable policymakers and
their advisors to seek evidence for their decisions from research
that has been conducted ethically and with integrity.
Over the past decade there has been growing national and
international concern about the impact of systems for the
management of research ethics in the social sciences. In particular
these 'procedural bureaucracies' are seen as inappropriate to the
ethical governance of social scientific research as they were
designed around the challenges presented by biomedical
research.This volume addresses and debates these concerns and
identifies areas of 'common ground', core ethics principles and
areas of particular concern in research ethics across the social
sciences. This volume draws on proceedings and papers delivered at
a Symposia series under the auspices of the UK Academy of Social
Sciences (AcSS). This project aimed to advance the understanding
and application of core ethics values to all aspects of social
science research from inception and review through research design,
data acquisition, analysis and management to dissemination and
application, in collaboration with social science learned
societies, research funders, higher education establishments,
researchers and participants in research.
This Open Access book provides illustrative case studies that
explore various research and innovation topics that raise
challenges requiring ethical reflection and careful policymaking
responses. The cases highlight diverse ethical challenges and
provide lessons for the various options available for policymaking.
Cases are drawn from many fields, including artificial
intelligence, space science, energy, data protection, professional
research practice and pandemic planning. Case studies are
particularly helpful with ethical issues to provide crucial
context. This book reflects the ambiguity of ethical dilemmas in
contemporary policymaking. Analyses reflect current debates where
consensus has not yet been achieved. These cases illustrate key
points made throughout the PRO-RES EU-funded project from which
they arise: that ethical judgement is a fluid enterprise, where
values, principles and standards must constantly adjust to new
situations, new events and new research developments. This book is
an indispensable aid to policymaking that addresses, and/or uses
evidence from, novel research developments.
This handbook is a much-needed and in-depth review of the
distinctive set of ethical considerations which accompanies
qualitative research. This is particularly crucial given the
emergent, dynamic and interactional nature of most qualitative
research, which too often allows little time for reflection on the
important ethical responsibilities and obligations Contributions
from leading international researchers have been carefully
organised into six key thematic sections: Part One: Thick
Descriptions Of Qualitative Research Ethics Part Two: Qualitative
Research Ethics By Technique Part Three: Ethics As Politics Part
Four: Qualitative Research Ethics With Vulnerable Groups Part Five:
Relational Research Ethics Part Six: Researching Digitally This
Handbook is a one-stop resource on qualitative research ethics
across the social sciences that draws on the lessons learned and
the successful methods for surmounting problems - the tried and
true, and the new.

This introductory text encourages the application of sociological
insights in health care. Health processes and outcomes are analyzed
in terms of social difference, inequality, opportunities and life
chances. Key sociological concepts and theories are introduced by
using practical exercises and an active learning approach. The book
is written in an accessible style so that it can be used as a
course text but should also appeal to individual readers at all
levels in their career. The book is for those on degree and diploma
courses in nursing and midwifery, health studies, health promotion
and sports sciences; and healthcare practitioners including
midwives, health visitors, physiotherapists, occupational
therapists and health promotion officers.
