RESEARCH ETHICS & METHODS

Rigor before authority. Transparency before claims.

Scientific credibility depends not on the sophistication of a concept, but on the quality of the evidence, the method, and the limits attached to every claim.

ETHICAL FOUNDATION

Responsible research practice

Research-ethics preparation through the CITI Program supports responsible practice. It does not substitute for institutional review, empirical validation, replication, or peer review.

01

Construct clarity

Define what each concept is, what it is not, and how it differs from established literature.

02

Evidence discipline

State methods, samples, analytical choices, disconfirming evidence, and limitations transparently.

03

Communication boundaries

Use research-informed for developing work; reserve validated or peer reviewed for evidence that has earned that status.
