In the past decade, research ethics in New Zealand has been transformed - nearly every professional group now has a written set of ethical considerations, and every health and academic institution has an active ethics committee. Research Ethics in Aotearoa New Zealand offers a broad-based educational resource to help students, researchers and ethics committee members learn about research ethics. The authors of the fourteen chapters of Research Ethics in Aotearoa New Zealand are all experts in their chosen fields. The book is presented in three parts, covering arrange of issues - from historical and theoretical perspectives on ethics, to its broad principles and a critical assessment of the administration of ethics in New Zealand. Case studies serve to illustrate the ethical issues raised by the major methodological techniques used by New Zealand researchers.
