Internet research ethics

Internet research ethics involves the research ethics of Internet research, with an emphasis on scientific research carried out via the Internet.

Especially well-known to those interested in bioethics are the Belmont Principles [http://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/humansubjects/guidance/belmont.htm] They provide a useful conceptual framework for consideration of issues in research ethics relevant to the protection of human subjects involved in biomedical or behavioral research. However, a principle-based approach is only one of a number of conceptual frameworks that are used to examine ethical issues. Others [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_research#Internet_research_ethics] include:

* Consequentialism (or Utilitarian ethics)
* Deontological ethics
* Ethics of care
* Virtue ethics

No subscription is required. The first issue of the IJIRE appeared in January, 2008.
