Negotiating access and research ethics ( Chapter 6, pp 162-196)
- Access and ethics are critical aspects for the conduct of research.
- Different types and levels of access have been identified that help us to understand the problems of gaining entry; physical access to an organisation; access to intended participants; continuing access in order to carry out further parts of your research or to be able to repeat the collection of data in another part of the organisation; cognitive access in order to get sufficiently close to find out valid and reliable data.
- Feasibility has been recognised to be an important determinant of what you choose to research and how you undertake the research.
- Qualitative research is likely to lead to a greater range of ethical concerns in comparison with quantitative research, although all research methods have specific ethical issues associated with them.
- Ethical concerns are also associated with the "power relationship" between the researcher and those who grant access, and the researcher's role (as external researcher, internal researcher or internal consultant).
