Research ethics in general and scientific research ethics in particular are at the cross roads. Many complexities arise in the way 'science' and 'research' pass through. Many 'if's and 'but's slow down the rate of expected pace and sometimes they even impede the dynamicity resulting in serious concerns.
Are we, the researchers, deviating from the ethics and from the basic focus of searching the truth? Are we compromising somewhere in some way or other?
If it is so, then the whole process is definitely at the cross roads and the story is, perhaps, the same all over the world.
What are your views, my dear RG friends?
