Making Ethics Review a Learning Institution: Ten Simple Suggestions

"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 "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 * Qualitative Research (QRJ) *
