Research ethics involves the application of fundamental ethical principles to a variety of topics involving scientific research. These include the design and implementation of research involving human participants (human experimentation); animal experimentation; various aspects of academic scandal, including scientific misconduct, such as fraud, fabrication (science) of data and plagiarism; whistleblowing; regulation of research (such as regulation of research on stem cells), and more.
A useful Research Ethics Training Curriculum has been prepared by Family Health International (FHI). It's focus is on human experimentation. The References section includes references to some of the major documents of research ethics, such as the Belmont Report, the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki and the CIOMS 1993 International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects.
