behavior in the study. This investigator will also critically evaluate the norms of
ethics to imply it in the study and make reliability in the study (Tian and Xu,
2015). The ethical consideration could facilitate to make a trustworthy research
outcome. It is illustrated that the investigator has used many sources to
eliminate the ethical issues from the study named as lack of plagiarized work,
university guidelines, actual reference, intext citation in each paragraph, and
credibility of actual authors. It could be effective in getting the reliable data int eh
context of the research matter (Trigo, et al, 2014).
It is also examined that the researcher could deeply evaluate the factors that
could decline the ethical issues from the study. It is examined that the
researcher could use ethical norms by which the investigator will be capable to
secure the confidentiality of the research participants. It could also be effective
in the attainment of the study task. It could also facilitate to make the perfect
rapport between the research candidates and researcher, which will be effective
for the attainment of the research task in an effective manner. Ethics is
imperative for any study hence each researcher has been considered this to
conduct their study and make a decision effectively (Bensadon, 2015).
