p.(None): Preamble
p.(None):
p.(None): UNESCO attaches the highest priority to the maintenance of high standards of integrity, responsibility and
p.(None): accountability in the research it supports. This applies to all aspects of that research from collection, recording,
p.(None): citing and reporting to the retention of scientific material.
p.(None):
p.(None): As UNESCO fosters international, interdisciplinary, comparative and policy- relevant social science research, network
p.(None): and research activities will take place in many parts of the world, and within a variety of economic, cultural, legal
p.(None): and political settings. Researchers may therefore inevitably face ethical, sometimes legal, dilemmas from competing
p.(None): obligations and conflicts of interest.
p.(None):
p.(None): For the most part, researchers will be aware of the potential difficulties arising from their work. However, UNESCO is
p.(None): concerned to draw the attention of all researchers to certain areas in which conflicts between ethical principles and
p.(None): aims of the research might arise, and to stress the need for their resolution.
p.(None):
p.(None): Therefore, a set of Ethical Guidelines has been developed to provide a framework to guide research practice. They are
p.(None): intended to act as signposts rather than detailed prescriptions or regulations. They are not intended to be a
p.(None): substitute for the scientific and professional judgement of the individual researcher.
p.(None):
p.(None): UNESCO encourages the participating institutions and networks to develop policies and promote information sessions for
p.(None): awareness-raising concerning ethical issues in social research.
p.(None):
p.(None): Code of Conduct and Ethical Guidelines
p.(None): Researchers should be fully aware of the ethical issues involved in their work and adhere to the following basic
p.(None): principles:
p.(None):
p.(None): 1 Responsibility for all procedures and ethical issues related to the project rests with the principal investigators.
p.(None):
p.(None): 2 Research should be conducted in such a way that the integrity of the research enterprise is maintained, and
p.(None): negative after-effects which might diminish the potential for future research should be avoided.

Social / Access to Social Goods
Searching for indicator access:
(return to top)
p.(None): 10 The research should avoid undue intrusion into the lives of the individuals or communities they study. The welfare
p.(None): of the informants should have the highest priority; their dignity, privacy and interests should be protected at all
p.(None): times.
p.(None):
p.(None): 11 Freely given informed consent should be obtained from all human subjects. Potential participants should be
p.(None): informed, in a manner and in language they can understand, of the context, purpose, nature, methods, procedures, and
p.(None): sponsors of the research. Research teams should be identified and contactable during and after the research activity.
p.(None):
p.(None): 12 There should be no coercion. Participants should be fully informed of their right to refuse, and to withdraw at
p.(None): any time during the research.
p.(None):
p.(None): Code of conduct social science research UNESCO Paul de Guchteneire
p.(None):
p.(None): 13 Potential participants should be protected against any and all potentially harmful effects and should be informed
p.(None): of any potential consequences of their participation.
p.(None):
p.(None): 14 Full confidentiality of all information and the anonymity of participants should be maintained. Participants
p.(None): should be informed of any potential limitations to the confidentiality of any information supplied. Procedures should
p.(None): be put in place to protect the confidentiality of information and the anonymity of the participants in all research
p.(None): materials.
p.(None):
p.(None): 15 Participants should be offered access to research results, presented in a manner and language they can understand.
p.(None):
p.(None): 16 All research should be reported widely, with objectivity and integrity.
p.(None): 17 Researchers should provide adequate information in all publications and to colleagues to permit their methods and
p.(None): findings to be properly assessed. Limits of reliability and applicability should be made clear.
p.(None):
p.(None): 18 Researchers are responsible for properly acknowledging the unpublished as well as published work of other
p.(None): scholars.
p.(None):
p.(None): 19 All research materials should be preserved in a manner that respects the agreements made with participants.

p.(None): 3 The choice of research issues should be based on the best scientific judgement and on an assessment of the
p.(None): potential benefit to the participants and society in relation to the risk to be borne by the participants. Studies
p.(None): should relate to an important intellectual issue.
p.(None):
p.(None): 4 The researcher should consider the effects of his/her work, including the consequences or misuse, both for the
p.(None): individuals and groups among whom they do their fieldwork, and for their colleagues and for the wider society.
p.(None):
p.(None): 5 The researcher should be aware of any potential harmful effects; in such circumstances, the chosen method should be
p.(None): used only if no alternative methods can be found after consultation with colleagues and other experts. Full
p.(None): justification for the method chosen should be given.
p.(None):
p.(None): 6 The research should be conducted in a competent fashion, as an objective scientific project and without bias. All
p.(None): research personnel should be qualified to use all of the procedures employed by them.
p.(None):
p.(None): 7 The research should be carried out in full compliance with, and awareness of, local customs, standards, laws and
p.(None): regulations.
p.(None):
p.(None): 8 All researchers should be familiar with, and respect, the host culture. Researchers undertaking research on
p.(None): cultures, countries and ethnic groups other than their own should make their research objectives particularly clear and
p.(None): remain aware of the concerns and welfare of the individuals or communities to be studied.
p.(None):
p.(None): 9 The principal investigators' own ethical principles should be made clear to all those involved in the research to
p.(None): allow informed collaboration with other researchers. Potential conflicts should be resolved before the research begins.
