|Title=Swedish Research Council's Guidelines on Good Research Practice
|Is About=This detailed guideline by the Swedish Research Council sets down the principles for the ethical conduct of research to be followed by all its researchers. Starting with brief explanations of the philosophical basis of ethics and research, it goes on to describe the different regulatory systems in place, such as research ethics committees. The final sections are devoted to describing the different aspects of research such as planning, collaboration and publication, and also research misconduct.
|Important Because=The practice of research involves balancing different needs. On the one hand, there is a need for knowledge and innovation which drives research. On the other hand, this must be weighed against the potential harms to research participants and to society at large. Thus, while performing research, it is important to have an understanding of not only the technical aspects, but also the underlying moral tensions, values and principles. These principles underlie various activities such as grant applications, conducting research, collaborations, publishing, mentoring other researchers and committee work. In addition, the document also discusses what constitutes research misconduct and how to prevent it.
