This chapter exposes readers to practical techniques of handling ethics in qualitative research projects. Researchers will be able to understand qualitative research ethics for human and non-human research projects. The intellectual property discussion is central to qualitative research projects; readers will be exposed to the steps of undertaking intellectual property rights discussion. The chapter is divided into five sections; readers will be able to experience the dangers of overlooking ethics when undertaking qualitative research projects, and the chapter suggests possible solutions to reduce and control risks that are connected to the violations of research ethics.

The principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice are well established ethical principles in health research. Of these principles, justice has received less attention by health researchers. The purpose of this article is to broaden the discussion of health research ethics, particularly the ethical principle of justice, to include societal considerations — who and what are studied and why? — and to critique current applications of ethical principles within this broader view. We will use a feminist intersectional approach in the context of health disparities research to firmly establish inseparable links between health research ethics, social action, and social justice. The aim is to provide an ethical approach to health disparities research that simultaneously describes and seeks to eliminate health disparities.

Most of the articles presented in this review were written in order to discuss the recently published J. Rothman’s book «The right of publicity: Privacy reimagined for a public world». We are talking about a specific intellectual right recognized by most of the US states - the right of a person to control the commercial use of elements of her personality.

Indigenous peoples have long critiqued the harmful effects of Eurocentric research processes upon Indigenous cultures and communities. This paper—which is grounded in the author's knowledge and experience as an Aboriginal Australian academic—examines three threshold considerations relevant to non-Indigenous scholars who seek to enter into respectful research relationships with Indigenous peoples or knowledges. The first is the question of whether the research should be conducted at all. The second is positionality and how this affects research. The third is the need for scholars to comprehensively inform themselves about ethical research principles, including in relation to free, prior and informed consent, and Indigenous cultural and intellectual property.

Informed consent is a key consideration in ethical research, particularly research conducted with children. Devising an approach to and obtaining informed consent is a complex task involving multiple considerations. The examples used in this paper are derived from a study investigating how children constitute family members and close relationships. The paper is divided into two sections. The first section suggests that researchers should take a reflexive approach to their professional research practice and addresses how a researcher's professional location determines their particular ethical approach. Consideration is given to how the researcher's particular ethical approach can be achieved in consultation with academic thought and research ethics guidelines, which often offer contradictory advice on important ethical issues. The second section of the paper addresses how researchers negotiate their approach to informed consent in particular research contexts which offer challenges to the researcher's thinking about research participants or chosen procedures for obtaining and maintaining that informed consent is upheld. The paper concludes by arguing that the researcher can incorporate academic thought and aspects of the research ethics guidelines in an approach to informed consent that simultaneously values the research participants and the ethical practices operating in the research setting. Such an approach involves careful negotiation and consideration of the interests of all stakeholders in the research process.

Cultural perspectives on law are a growing part of contemporary legal scholarship and, in particular, semiotics has been argued in interdisciplinary legal scholarship on intellectual property (IP) to be helpful in illuminating some of the intractable issues encountered in the laws governing copyright, trademarks, and the right of publicity. Semiotics seeks to understand the operation of a given system or process by observing the function of signification, expression, representation, and communication. Famous trademarks, well-known copyrighted works, and celebrity personalities can function like Barthesian myths with universal ideological codings that are recognized globally, enabling them to be read as polysemous texts that invite playful semiotic recodings and post-structural disruptions. The invocation of semiotics in the study of IP signs is intimately intertwined with the freedom of speech. Semiotic readings of IP signs invite us to enter a world of possibilities that explore a more nuanced interpretation of legal doctrine and legislative provisions.

This article describes how a new budding method opens up the avenue for debate to generate ideas and thoughts around its ethical grounding, especially with its application on children. This purpose should be addressed to ensure a pluralistic ethical approach to dealing with children as respondents in research. Relevant literature and theoretical findings on ethics, marketing research, neuromarketing and neuroethics as well as the most common and applied ethical policies are reviewed systematically and presented. Interspersed with this method is a comprehensive evaluation of current debates and cases on ethics and children. The use of research ethics regulatory and policy mechanisms and its harmonisation at different levels with other neuroethics codes could reduce unethical practices. Accordingly, the emphasis on children's protection (in terms of cognitive manipulations) with neuromarketing research should be paramount. The knowledge gained through this research should ideally facilitate the process of advancing ethical concerns to promote statutory policy in the light of neuromarketing techniques.

The ethically process in research is time consuming because we also find a difficulty when judging different problems seeing that many regulations have ambiguous meaning. For ethics commission members it appears to be a burden when it comes to analyze the research ethics issues. The main reason is represented by the increased subjectivism and also the differences between an institutions to another or even between different countries. This study aim is concentrated around the ethics problems that appear in the research field. Each researcher must be informed about the research ethics and make an individual effort to find the appropriate information that fits to his personal interest regarding all possible ethics issues that can appear in his interest domain. A specialist with integrity and common sense it is supposed to act with active and politically correct conscience during his research activity especially in experimentation systems and afterwards when results dissemination is prepared for publishing. The intellectual property is the most important set of exclusive rights granted to original creations or extraordinary research results. The ethics commissions around the world would appreciate, protect and encourage all the politically correct behavior in this vast domain.
