• ETHICAL PRINICPLES

  • Ethical principles provide a framework for researchers to make ethical decisions, navigate complex ethical dilemmas, and uphold professional standards throughout the research process.
• ETHICAL PRINICPLES

  • These principles are designed to ensure that research is conducted with integrity, honesty, and respect for the rights and well-being of individuals and communities involved.
• ETHICAL PRINICPLES

  • Honesty and integrity
  • Objectivity
  • Accuracy and cautiousness
  • Protection of human subjects
  • Animal care
  • Care for the environment
  • Respect for intellectual property
  • Responsible research dissemination
• Honesty and integrity

  • Researchers must conduct their work truthfully, accurately, and transparently, avoiding fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism.
• Objectivity

  • Research should be free from bias or undue influence, and findings should be based on empirical evidence rather than personal beliefs or preferences.
• Accuracy and cautiousness

  • Researchers should strive for precision in data collection, analysis, and reporting, and exercise caution to avoid misleading interpretations or conclusions.
• Protection of human subjects

  • Researchers must ensure that the rights, safety, and well-being of human participants are protected throughout the research process, including obtaining informed consent and maintaining confidentiality.
• Animal care

  • When using animals in research, researchers must adhere to ethical guidelines to minimize harm, ensure humane treatment, and justify the necessity of animal use.
• Care for the environment

  • Researchers should minimize environmental impact by using resources responsibly, reducing waste, and considering the ecological consequences of their research activities.
• Respect for intellectual property

  • Researchers should acknowledge and respect the intellectual contributions of others by properly citing sources and obtaining permission for the use of copyrighted material.
• Responsible research dissemination

  • Researchers have a responsibility to disseminate their findings accurately and responsibly, avoiding sensationalism or exaggeration, and providing context and limitations to help readers interpret the results effectively.
• RESPONSIBILITIES OF A RESEARCHER

  • Research students are primarily responsible for the design, conduct finalization, and dissemination of the study.
  • Researchers are expected to observe the highest ethical standard and follow the guidelines and procedures set by the school in conducting a CRP (Capstone Research Project).
• STEP 01:

  Develop an appropriate CRP plan following the format of the school.
• STEP 02:

  • Consult and discuss your concerns with your research adviser regularly.
• STEP 03:

  • Attend required research orientation sessions, accomplish research forms, and comply with other research protocols prior to the conduct of experimentations.
• STEP 04:

  • Accomplish preparatory activities ahead of schedule.
• STEP 05:

  • Manage and sustain the progress of the research.
• STEP 06:

  1. Prepare the final product and paper following the format of the school.
• STEP 07:

  • Disseminate your CRP results following the guidelines of the school.
• SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

  • The safety of the researchers, the end-products of the research, and the environment where the research is conducted should be considered.
• SAFETY - It must be prioritized because of the inherent risks such as fire hazard, toxic chemicals, risky protocols, and potentially infectious diseases from creatures.
• Follow the instructions to avoid accidents and endangering your life and others.
• • Familiarize yourself with the location and use of safety equipment.
• • Wear personal protective equipments.
• • Strictly no food nor drinks.
• • Dispose the wastes.
• • Study the protocols for accidents.
