  • Ethics serve as the compass guiding the path of research, ensuring integrity, credibility, and respect for all involved. Upholding ethical standards is not just a moral imperative but a cornerstone of reliable and meaningful research. It safeguards the rights and welfare of participants, fosters trust within the scientific community, and upholds the integrity of findings. Without ethical considerations, research risks harm to individuals, erodes public trust, and undermines the validity of results. Integrating ethical principles into every stage of research is essential, fostering a culture of accountability, integrity, and respect that ultimately enhances the quality and impact of scientific inquiry.
