Ethical issues in research command increased attention today. The ethical considerations that need to be
anticipated are extensive, and they are reflected through the research process. These issues apply to qualitative,
quantitative, and mixed methods research and to all stages of research. Proposal writers need to anticipate
them and actively address them in their research plans. Accordingly, it is helpful to address them as they relate
to different phases of inquiry. As shown in Table 4.1, attention needs to be directed toward ethical issues prior
to conducting the study; beginning a study; during data collection and data analysis; and in reporting, sharing,
and storing the data.
