An ethics argument for data sharing

June 28, 2021 No Comments

In this post, Gary Allen and Nik Zeps explore the human research ethics arguments and imperatives that only allow for the sharing of data, but establish a public good that can make sharing expected and essential.

This expectation should shape the approach to consent, the framing of assurances given to potential participants about confidentiality and e reflected in the application for research ethics review.

Research ethics committees and review bodies should be cognisant of these ethical arguments during the research ethics review of projects

Institutions must have clear policies and guidance material on data sharing.

Should we accept funding for facial recognition research, and other dilemmas?

January 26, 2021 No Comments

Gary Allen, Mark Israel and Colin Thomson|
PEER REVIEWED

In the 1980s and 1990s, many research institutions made the principled and commendable decision not to accept funding from the tobacco industry.

This reflected the recognition of the awful health impacts of tobacco use and the degree to which the industry was muddying the waters of public debate with academic and clinical research questioning the veracity of the overwhelming body of evidence that clearly showed the dire dangers of activity such as smoking. While we continue to be shocked by cases such those like the research of Hans J Eysenck (and this), for the main it is accepted that receiving funding from the tobacco industry is not in the public’s best interest.

When it comes to the approach to human research ethics, did we buy London Bridge thinking it was Tower Bridge?

September 21, 2021 No Comments

In this post, two experienced research ethics officers risk being decried as heretics by reflecting upon the justifications that are used for the current Human Research Ethics arrangements in countries around the world.

They use the sale of London Bridge in the Sixties and the urban myth that the US millionaire who bought it thought he was buying Tower Bridge, to ask, given the time, effort and resources expended on research ethics review, are we getting what we paid for?

There are genuine benefits that can flow from a well-conducted review process and they do justify the existence of those processes, but we should stop claiming those processes safeguard us against the criminal, unethical and reckless behaviour of the past.

They don’t and we should stop claiming in our professional development activities and resource material they do.
