Research Ethics Among Undergraduates of the Social Sciences

Abstract

At the beginning of the 21st century, issues concerning the social sciences research design and data collection are dominant. However, social scientists have found some remedies for the pitfalls of post-graduate and graduate students. Although the authors have found published literature at internationally recognized data-based publishers, very little literature reviewed undergraduates in the faculty of social sciences. The purpose of this chapter is to empower undergraduates, and to guide them in research ethics, particularly in the social sciences. Undergraduate students or supervisors who deal with social sciences research ensure to follow the precautions of the ethical principles to increase the benefits of the research for society and country development at large. Overall, undergraduate students need to understand the problem which systematically can be resolved through research. Moreover, in data collection sampling must be identified properly.
