Ethical codes of conduct exist in almost every profession. Field-specific codes of conduct have been around for decades, each articulating specific ethical and professional guidelines. However, there has been little empirical research on researchers' perceptions of these codes of conduct. In the present study, we interviewed faculty members in six research disciplines and identified five themes bearing on the circumstances under which they use ethical guidelines and the underlying reasons for not adhering to such guidelines. We then identify problems with the manner in which codes of conduct in academia are constructed and offer solutions for overcoming these problems.
几乎每个行业都有道德行为准则。特定领域的行为准则已经存在了几十年,每一个都阐述了具体的道德和专业准则。然而,关于研究人员对这些行为准则的看法,实证研究却很少。在本研究中,我们采访了六个研究学科的教员,确定了五个主题,这些主题涉及他们使用道德准则的情况以及不遵守这些准则的潜在原因。然后,我们找出学术界行为准则构建方式存在的问题,并提出克服这些问题的解决方案。
