O N L I N E R E S E A R C H E T H I C S C O U R S E Section One: Ethical Issues in Research CASE STUDY: Crashing into Law Sven suggests that he call the news media and blow the whistle on the lawyer, as he did not sign a confidentiality agreement. That action would be morally and legally prohibited. All assistants of Dr. Oleson are bound by his agreement. The collaborative nature of academic research is different from research performed under contract whether in a legal case or if done on behalf of a particular corporation. Researchers should be sure that they are willing to go along with the particulars of the agreement regardless of what they conclude or how their conclusions are used.
