WHAT IS ETHICS?
Research ethics is concerned with the
responsibility of the researchers to be
honest and respectful to all individuals
who are involved in research study and
research should not inflict harm on
researcher as well as research subjects.
IMPORTANCE OF ETHICS IN

1. Ethics promotes the pursuit of knowledge,
truth, and credibility. It also fosters values

Research often involves a great deal of
cooperation and coordination among
people in different fields or disciplines. The
