Ethical Guidelines for Good Research Practice
What is this about?
This document contains a list of guidelines that anthropologists should follow. These principles provide a professional code, a practical framework, to help researchers cope with ethical considerations, conflicts of interest, making informed decisions, competing duties and obligations, and communicating their professional perspectives to other stakeholders affected by their research.
Why is this important?
Anthropologists are increasingly confronted with complex situations involving, among other things, conflicts of interest, value choices, dilemmas, obligations, and competing duties. As a result, the Association of Social Anthropologists of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth (ASA) provides a practical framework in the form of ethical principles to assist them in such situations.
For whom is this important?
What are the best practices?
The ASA Ethical Guidelines present the responsibilities that researchers have with research participants, funders, sponsors, employers, host governments and the discipline of anthropology in general.
