At the same time, you publish commentary on neo-conservatism in the aftermath of 911 at a personal web log.<BR/><BR/>As a candidate for the degree of PhD, you are required by university regulations to alert and obtain permission from the Social and Behavioural Research Ethics Committee (SBREC) for any research that is social in its focus. <BR/><BR/>Have you obtained such permission with regard to commentary on your web log rearding Tim Blair? Have you obtained such permission with regard to numerous comments posted on your web log rearding Tim Blair's post? <BR/><BR/>I would like to propose that your web log commentary on Tim Blair constitutes research for your PhD. <BR/><BR/>If so, the SBREC's Ethical Guidelines for Social and Behavioural Research provide some useful guidelines: <BR/><BR/>"Before any approach is made to potential participants or the commencement of collection of<BR/>any data, staff and students who intend to undertake any research project involving human<BR/>subjects must obtain approval from the appropriate University ethics committee."<BR/><BR/>Have you obtained such permission? <BR/><BR/>The same document goes on to say the following: <BR/><BR/>"Researchers have ethical and legal responsibilities towards their subjects and should<BR/>therefore observe the following principles:<BR/><BR/>Integrity, Respect for Persons, Beneficence and Justice<BR/><BR/>1. The guiding value for researches is integrity, which is expressed in a commitment to<BR/>the search for knowledge, to recognised principles of research conduct and in the<BR/>honest and ethical conduct of research and dissemination and communication of<BR/>results.<BR/><BR/>2. The researcher must have respect for persons, expressed as regard for the welfare,<BR/>rights, beliefs, perceptions, customs and cultural heritage, both individual and<BR/>collective, of persons involved in research.<BR/><BR/>3. Researchers have a responsibility to minimise risks or harm or discomfort to<BR/>participants.<BR/><BR/>4. The research protocol must be designed to ensure that respect for the dignity and well<BR/>being of the participants takes precedence over the expected benefits to research<BR/>knowledge."<BR/><BR/>Are you comporting yourself in the public arena in such a way? <BR/><BR/>I strongly advise you to go and read <A HREF="http://www.flinders.edu.au/research/Office/ethics/docs/sbrec/sbrec_guidelinesTOR.pdf" REL="nofollow">this document</A>, which is the full version from which the above quotes are lifted. <BR/><BR/>A failure to do so, or to alter your public commentary and collection of data for your PhD research, will result in an unsuitable outcome, I'm sure. <BR/><BR/>Should you have any questions, you can direct them to Sandy Huxtable on (08) 8201 5962, or email: sandy.huxtable@flinders.edu.au<BR/><BR/>That a PhD student and recipient of a university medal at Flinders is deeply disappointing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708970.post-89784144715440999512007-06-23T07:54:00.000+09:302007-06-23T07:54:00.000+09:30I thought Damien's rant was ignorant, poorly thoug...I thought Damien's rant was ignorant, poorly thought out, and self-negating.
