On wrting a second ethnographic work about a village, the researcher went against the wishes of the villagers by not using their real names but acted in accordance with the Principles of Professional Responsibility of the American Anthropological Association. She made exceptions where she judged that using a real name would please the person. +
This fictional case is about an applied medical anthropologist who wrote a series of articles when she was working in an urban black community in the United States. She wrote her articles in an anonymous way so that individuals and/or the community would not be harmed.

This study addresses one of the approaches in ethics training, focused on the development of ethical decision-making skills. It proposes a new curriculum with focus on day-to-day social and professional practices that have ethical implications for the physical sciences and engineering. The training resulted in researchers' increased ethical decision-making in relation to data management, study conduct, professional and business practices. +
This module introduces the fundamentals of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and its application in health and food supply chains. It explores how products such as medicines and food items move through stages from raw material extraction to disposal, and how each stage creates environmental impacts. The module highlights sustainability challenges, including energy use, emissions, and waste generation. It also explains how LCA helps identify critical impact points and supports informed decision-making. By integrating real-world examples, the module connects theory to practice, enabling students to understand how sustainability can be improved in complex, global supply systems. +
This study aimed to outline research findings from psychology and neuroscience that are important for moral decision making. It also considers how ethics educators can implement these findings in ethics courses. The research findings provide explanations regarding psychologists' ethical decision making. It also offers guidance on how educators can assist future psychologists cope with problems of ethical decision making. +
<span lang="EN-US">Ecofeminist theories highlight how the structures that create the climate crisis and social inequality are intertwined,therefore, research that wishes to properly unpack these systems must address them together. However, ecofeminist theory can often remain abstract or theoretical when we think of applying it to research practice. By breaking down ecofeminism to highlight the tools it can provide to rethink our research on both the human and non-human, this module provides concrete examples of research dilemmas and how they may be overcome with ecofeminist principles.</span> +

Professor Dale Goodman is asked by a non-academic journal to review a book about prostitution, which lies within the scope of expertise, even if the book is not academic. He tries to write an honest assessment of the book's merits and submits it to the journal, which changes the review's title upon publication without informing Goodman. The researcher believes that the new title, "Prison Babes" is harmful and misrepresents the book, the review and the discussed phenomenon. The case asks about the appropriate course of action in such situations. +

Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2018), National Health and Medical Research Council, Australian Research Council and Universities Australia +
The Australian Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research (2018), authored by the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Australian Research Council, and Universities Australia, is a national framework that defines principles and standards for research integrity in Australia while aligning with international norms. It is grounded in the values of honesty, accountability, professional courtesy, and stewardship of resources, linking these to reproducibility, credibility, and public trust in research. The Code sets out responsibilities for researchers, supervisors, institutions, funders, and journals, guiding good practice in planning, conducting, publishing, and reviewing research. It covers authorship, proper acknowledgement, conflict-of-interest management, transparency of methods and data, fair peer review, and responsible supervision. It also provides mechanisms to handle misconduct, ensuring due process, proportional sanctions, and learning opportunities. Education and training are embedded to promote integrity as a core skill, alongside guidance on emerging issues such as open science, data management, digital tools, and contemporary dissemination. By offering practical tools and clarifying expectations, the Code serves as both a benchmark for policy leads and a practical handbook for researchers and administrators, supporting transparency, reproducibility, and equitable access across Australia. +
