Ethics of Scientific Research:

1- Commitment to the rules and methodology of scientific research.

2- Humility and transparency when reviewing related literature and writing the research results.

3- Avoiding conflict with lofty values and ethics; the research and its results should not go against recognised human values.

4- Objectivity, unbiases, accuracy and credibility.

5- Maintaining the confidentiality of information and data obtained by the researcher from the members of the population of the study.

6- Informing participants/research population about the nature of the research and its objectives and assuring them that their contribution will be confidentially kept.

7- The research results should be written honestly and truthfully without manipulation or fabrication. Any missing part of the information provided should not be completed based on suspicion or analogy with other research results.

8- Presenting the results with credibility and transparency without camouflaging the negative results or interpreting them with reference to newly formed hypotheses.

9- Confidentiality of information: protecting respondents from being identified or endangered when carrying out a search considering notifying them in advance that they are under observation.

10- Not to record participants or take pictures of them without prior notice and acceptance.

11- Not exploiting situations for the researcher’s benefit, such as indirectly interpreting what he observes, or others say.

12- Adhering to the scientific method in citation & quotation without plagiarism; hence all source must be acknowledged.

13- Not to: send the paper to be published to more than one party at the same time, republish the scientific paper, or re-participate in a symposium without introducing scientific additions to it.
