Guidelines for Research Ethics in the Social Sciences, Humanities, Law and Theology (NESH, Norway)
What is this about?
The National Committee for Research Ethics in the Social Sciences and the Humanities (NESH) is one of the constituents of the Norwegian National Research Ethics Committees. As such, it forms an impartial advisory body on research ethics and integrity. In this document, the NESH sets out the good research practices that are especially relevant to researchers within the social sciences and humanities, but also to the research community at large.
Why is this important?
While the guidelines of the Norwegian Research Ethics Committees is the main national document, the NESH document provides an in-depth description of the ethical and legal bases of research, and the different domains where good practices are applicable. As opposed to the NREC guidelines, the NESH guidelines provide more practical norms that align with the values of research integrity.
For whom is this important?
What are the best practices?
Detailed best practices relating to:
- Respect for individuals
-Respect for groups and institutions
- Interacting with the research community
-Performing commissioned research
-Good dissemination practices
