Ethics Review in the Social and Behavioural Sciences
The ethics of conducting research on humans has been part and parcel of the social and behavioural sciences for decades. However, although the underlying principles have proven stable, the practical application and implementation of ethics assessment has proven variable, with different procedures depending on specific subfields, committees, Zeitgeist, and law. I will present on the recent efforts to both harmonize and strengthen ethics assessment across the Netherlands, on both new and ever-returning challenges, and on tips for practical implementation.
