What's social science without social justice? Having a code of ethics wrt research is kinda of "well, duh" position.
Medical research went thru the same maturity process.
From Nature's announcement:
"New ethics guidance addresses potential harms for human population groups who do not participate in research but may be harmed by its publication."
Like I said, "well, duh." Like how else should it be?
- justinmchase 4y agoOh you're not being sarcastic. Social science without social justice would probably just be science, with social justice it would not be science but political activism, bias and probably ultimately would lead to something more detrimental than what they're trying to prevent. How it should be is accurate and truthful. The problem with trying to prevent "potential harms" is that the term is subjective and suppressing the truth for subjective reasons will cause a non-scientific result which can be even more harmful in the end.
