Critically think about ethical issues related to data management and analysis. Familiarize yourself with Module 3’s objectives, introduction, video, and articles. Use the articles in Module 3 as your primary reference, then use the St Leo Online Library for peer review sources and to find relevance to this week’s topic.

Please share your information with our classmates on this thread.

Questions:

1. Ethics in data and publishing is a very important topic in social science. In module 3, we learned about the guidelines of using the same data set to publish multiple papers. What three guidelines does the Academy of Management require when utilizing the same dataset for a second or subsequent paper? Why are these principles important, and how do they protect the integrity of research?

2. What are some examples of questionable research tactics that have been employed by psychologists? How does this harm the scientific community? What APA guidelines deal with research integrity?
