ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 4
Introduction:-
The report describes about research ethics, prospects and procedure of a research
study. Different aspects of research procedure in qualitative and quantitative data and
illustration of various statistical terms are discussed here.
The PICO analysis, SPIDER analysis and research methodology are elaborated in the
research report. The importance of different functions of research ethics in phenomenological
research is described in the research.
The report is a reflection of true research method and procedure. Qualitative research
method and quantitative research method is useful for descriptive research method.
Discussion:-
Research Ethics:-
A tendency to see research almost entirely in ethical terms, such that target was to
achieve ethical goals and ethical ideals. Ethical considerations were believed to set
boundaries what researchers could do in pursuit of knowledge. Now-a-days ethical
considerations are treated by few rationale of research. Ethical decisions arise throughout the
whole research methodology from conceptualization and design, data collection and analysis,
report and literature (Christians 2000).
Autonomy:-
Academic or administrative autonomy is necessary of research ethics. Various aspects
of decision making from region to district administrative offices depend upon policy making
of research team (Whitty 1997). The functional autonomy measurement system is an
instrument designed to assess disabilities related to all functions.

ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 5
Non-Maleficence:-
It is crucial that potential participants are given adequate time to validate material and
make an informed choice. Another key component in research studies is that researchers are
aware of their right to withdraw from the study at any time. While right to privacy exists both
as a moral and legal right, the right is not absolute if researchers are deemed to be at risk. The
disclosure of sensitive information may occur within the raise of ethical issues of researchers
(Casey 2009). The disclosure of accountability should be informed to the researchers. While
the researcher aspects the participant’s right to privacy according to the principle of
autonomy, principles of beneficence and non-maleficence.
Beneficence:-
The principle of beneficence needs that researchers ensure the wellbeing of
participants. However, the principle of non-maleficence refers to the duty to protect
researchers from harm. The principle of beneficence demands that the researcher maximizes
any possible benefits of the research (Coughlan, Cronin and Ryan 2007). The researcher is
required to provide the research ethics committee with essential detail regarding the benefits
and risks associated with the study. It enables the research committee to determine the ethical
suitability of the project.
A risk-benefit assessment considers the potential risks in the research study where
ethics committee may have different review procedures to represent the minimal risk.
Justice:-
Justice is an essential requirement to include and exclude certain groups from the
research study. This requirement is the significance to the persons who are closely associated
to the principle of justice. This principle demands that those who are unable to protect their
own interests are not exploited to advance new knowledge.
