To ensure an ethically responsible research practice, it is mandatory for employees and students from the Faculty of BMS to submit their research project for ethical assessment incase your research involves human participants or/and using potentially sensitive data about and/or from individuals, groups or organizations. In consultation with your supervisor, you can submit the ethical approval form to the Ethics Committee. You can only start your data collection once you have obtained ethical approval. For more information about the application procedure, you can visit the website of the Ethics Committee.
3.3 HANDLING RESEARCH DATA
Research data are the original sources or material that you create or collate to conduct your research project. They can be digital or non-digital, and can have many forms. The response to your research question is based on the analysis of these research data. The BMS data lab offeres a series of micro-lectures to teach students how to handle their data during, and after, their study. Based on 5 simple questions, all aspects of Research Data Management (RDM) will be addressed in fun, animated, short online recordings.
