Recent Product Reviews:

I was curious to see if there was material here that I might use to introduce the subject of ethics in research to my students. I have currently placed this on my course reading list.
Mr DOUGLAS ANDERSON, Humanities Fine Arts Dept, Front Range Community College
This one as the one of the textbook in my research methods course
Dr Zhidong Zhang, Colg of Education, University of Texas - Brownsville
"Two important aspects covered in this text are the ethical considerations in qualitative research methodologies, and the attention that is needed in University Research Ethics Committees to understanding and addressing these methodologies."
Dorothy Ettling, University of the Incarnate Word
“I particularly enjoyed the energetic and experienced tone of these writers and their willingness to take a stance...The chapters in the second half of the book on consent, confidentiality and autoethnography have thoughtful coverage of qualitative research issues. Equally welcome is their attempt to come up with constructive solutions rather than to simply criticize...The authors have established record in developing an evidence base on human research ethics and I shall be bringing their final chapter, with its ‘Ten Simple Solutions for Making Ethics Review a Learning Institution’, to my own ethics committee.”
Sally Holland, Cardiff University, UK
