Good 'research ethics' means

  • A.Not disclosing the holdings of shares/stocks in a company that sponsors your research.
  • B.Assigning a particular research problem to one Ph.D./research student only.
  • C.Discussing with your colleagues confidential data from a research paper that you are reviewing for an academic journal.
  • D.Submitting the same research manuscript for publishing in more than one journal.

Answer: B

Good research ethics means avoiding practices that harm honesty and fairness. Assigning a particular research problem to one student only avoids duplicated effort and overlap and keeps credit clear. Not disclosing holdings in a company that sponsors the research hides a conflict of interest, discussing confidential data from a paper under review breaks the reviewer's duty of confidence, and submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal is duplicate submission, so all three are unethical. The answer is assigning a particular research problem to one student only.
