Ethics in Qualitative Research

Certain ethical challenges in qualitative research necessitate sustained attention of two

interconnected worlds: the world of the researcher and the world of the participant. A critical view of some of
the ethical challenges in the participants’ andresearchers’ world reveals that how we examine both these
worlds’ effects how we design our research. In addition, it reflects the need for researchers to develop an
ethical research vocabulary at the inception of their research life through multiple modes. The modes may
include dialogue in the spoken and written and visual to affect their aims to adhere to the principles of respect,
beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice in a way that is mutually beneficial to the participant and the
researcher.1
Further, the deliberations in this paper reveal that a critical conscious research ethics are
embedded in the unfolding research ethics process involving the participants and the researchers, and both
the participant and researcher add equal weight to the transparency of the ethical process and add value to
building methodological and ethical rigor to the research.1
The global public health response to COVID-19 could be significantly enhanced by safe, effective
vaccines and treatments, reliable measures of correlates of immune protection, and improved scientific
knowledge of the disease and its transmission. It is widely agreed that vaccines would be particularly
important, and over 100 candidate vaccines are currently being developed . Well designed human challenge
studies provide one of the most efficient and scientifically powerful means for testing vaccines, especially
because animal models are not adequately generalizable to humans.

Questions:
1. Based on the article, how will you define ethics in research?

2. Are SARS-CoV-2 infection and transmission.study on humans rather than animal models
unethical?
