Ethical dilemmas when working across disciplines

Eileen Clark

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

We might imagine that the ethical principles governing research are universal and clearly delineated, so that an action is either right or wrong with little room for doubt. However, my recent work has shown me that different disciplines may interpret the principles of beneficence, respect for human dignity, and justice in different ways. As we move out of our disciplinary silos and away from the academy we may need to adjust our thinking about what constitutes ethical research practices. In this article, I will reflect on my experiences of publishing research from one discipline in a journal identified with another.
