SUBJECT CENTRE LEGACY RESOURCE This Practical Resource Guide outlines the ethical issues that social science students need to consider when conducting research be it for their dissertation or for industry-based projects. Social science is a general term used for the study of society consumers employees and so on and the manner in which those people behave and how it affects the world around us. Researching "people in our world" therefore must be completed in a safe fair and honest way. Whilst ethical policy for empirical research has been with us since the Nuremberg Code 1947 many universities have not yet developed resources in terms of practical ethical examples. Therefore this Practical Resource Guide for Tutors and Students presents materials and examples for tutors of research methods and for undergraduate and masters students engaging in social science research. The Guide also contains background literature power point presentations and practical examples.
