(US) Confronting human rights abuses in the scientific literature – C&EN (David W. Christianson | April 2022)

To preserve the integrity of science and human research ethics arrangements it is important that journal editorial processes and human research ethics processes are mindful of potential human rights abuses.  Such can come up anywhere but in the last few years, we have seen a run of them from China.

A traditional Māori design of a fearsome face.

(New Zealand) New Zealand professors in Māori science row quit Royal Society – Times Higher Education (John Ross | March 2022)

If the Royal Society (New Zealand) hoped that dropping the formal inquiry into the two academics (who wrote an open letter complaining they were required to talk about Māori beliefs and traditional practices with regard to medicine when conducting a talk about biomedicine) they badly misread the situation.  The two academics have very publically resigned from the Royal Society.   Rather than quietening down a loud and toxic argument, it seems the Royal Society has managed to inflame both sides.

(US) Can scientists repair their relationship with Native people as they probe the past? – Science (Andrew Curry | February 2022)

There is a long and shameful history of US researchers trampling Indigenous protocols and needs.  This isn’t just matters in living history, it is incredibly current.  So something must change!  It should be said that the US is not alone in this being the experience of First People.  Reflecting on respect, justice and data sovereignty must be a component of professional development for HDR candidates, supervisors, all researchers and research ethics reviewers.  Genuine engagement and respect should start at the earliest phases of planning a project and continue far past the publication of research outputs.

(Canada) Canadians push research ethics in undergraduate classes – Times Higher Education (Paul Basken | March 2022)

These Canadian guidelines for human research ethics professional development are a sensible move and other jurisdictions should emulate them.  We especially like the fact that these guidelines were developed by academics, with a solid eye on pedagogy, rather than governance.  This can only be a help when some students transition to doing research as postgraduates.

Stamp out fake clinical data by working together – Nature (Lisa Bero | January 2021)

There are numerous reasons why faked clinical trial data are a concern: 1. Falsified data might lead to unsafe treatments for patients.  2. It might also lead to later researchers either pursuing a junk path or rejecting a useful path based on flawed information.  3. It might perpetuate crazy theories and crackpot treatments.  4. It might harm the reputation of science and research in the minds of the general public, the media and politicians.

Friday afternoon’s funny – Betting using human body parts

Discussions about the research ethics review of research projects involving work with human biospecimens is a topic we are frequently asked to cover in our research ethics committee professional development.  AHRECS is now also working in the animal ethics sphere.  Contact us at enquiry@ahrecs.com to discuss engaging us.

(China) Journal retracts paper based on DNA of vulnerable Chinese minorities – The Intercept (Mara Hvistendahl – December 2021)

This story provides another unfortunate example of apparent human research ethics breaches having research integrity consequences.  It is also the latest instalment of consent issues resulting in forced retractions.
