Research Ethics in the Real World is the first book to highlight the links between research ethics and individual, social, professional, institutional, and political ethics. Helen Kara considers all stages of the research process, from the formulation of a research question to aftercare for participants, data and findings. It provides guidance for quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods researchers about how to act ethically throughout your research work. This book is invaluable in supporting teachers of research ethics to design and deliver effective courses.

"“This excellent book goes far beyond the basic tenet of “do no harm,” and its comprehensive and holistic approach to the very real ethical issues confronting scholars, especially those in qualitative research, provides a wonderful resource…Not only that, but the book is beautifully written and, despite the author’s clam that there are “not many laughs” to be found this reviewer has found herself repeatedly diving into her review copy just for the pleasure of it.” The Independent Scholar, Volume 5, Spring 2019" - The Independent Scholar, Volume 5, Spring 2019
