Research is a tedious task. It does not only require researchers to write and report. There are also guidelines and protocols they need to follow. These protocols would require them to understand their ethical obligations which include the following:
Honesty and Objectivity
The findings or results of the study need to be reported based on observation, survey, test, or experiments. Researchers are not allowed to manipulate them for personal gain or interests. The methodology, data collection, interpretation, and presentation needs to be done accordingly without any bias.

All information included in the research needs to be reviewed carefully to ensure the credibility of data. Gathered data must be kept with confidentiality for future reference.

Plagiarism is a major concern in conducting research. Proper citation and referencing or asking permission from the authors or contributors need to be observed. Any intellectual property needs to be acknowledged in these ways.

Publication of research needs to be done for the purpose of community development and not for career advancement. Legal procedures need to be conformed according to the rules and laws that govern the study.

Researchers are only allowed to use animals as subjects for experiments that would justify the results of their study. Animal care needs to be taken into consideration. The exploitation of these species especially the endangered ones is highly discouraged.

The use of human beings for experiments needs to undergo a series of tests and consultations to reduce the harmful impacts. Asking the consent from the participants is necessary and this includes the orientation of the benefits and advantage they and other people would get from it.
