The book explores several case studies organized to highlight common challenges in conducting research, with contributions from 68 individuals from 27 countries, in both the global North and global South. The book highlights similar and contrasting perspectives, intending that these examples will stimulate discussions about implementing research ethically when working across one or more global locations.
As stated in the book, “Global Research Ethics is a guide for students and their instructors to understand topics linked to research ethics from a more global perspective. Research plays a key role in identifying health disparity trends and evaluating interventions to improve the health and wellbeing of the populations at the individual, local, national, and global levels. Conducting ethically sound research is imperative in these contexts.”
