author mentions that, as they have a good knowledge of the research topic, it has a good impact on the formulation of the questions. However, this could have made a potential bias in the results.

Deception in research is an ethical concern due to the harm a subject may or may…

Corporate involvement in scientific research have created a problematic dynamic between financial interests and the goals of sciences and its supposed norms. Robert Merton said that “the goal of science is to expand the range of our knowledge by empirical confirmation and logically consistent statements of regularities,” and made a point to identify certain norms that should not be breeched to ensure that science would not fall ill to the maladies that plague other institutions. These included:…
