This book provides a comprehensive overview of ethical concerns researchers must face after collecting the study data. It teaches readers how to avoid issues related to data management and analysis, the publication process, and the researcher amp rsquo s obligations after publication.

You have almost completed your research and you are certain that the treatment of human participants was ethically sound. The hefty ethical deliberations are behind you, right? Not quite. In this practical and informative books, Harris Cooper provides an insider amp rsquo s guidance on the many choices yet to come. Following the course of a typical project, Cooper describes the ethics-and etiquette-behind each stage. He anticipates ethical problems that occur in the early stages of planning research, the middle stages of data management and report preparation, and the final stage of publications. At each stage, he emphasizes the value of early planning to meet one amp rsquo s professional responsibilities as a scientist.
