Answer:
Unethical research is the promotion of fake information, manipulating data, and with-holding information in attempt to gain additional continued funding and build out so-called subject matter expertise as a PI.
Identifying what you’re fishing for is key before you put a lot of weight and funding behind a hypothesis. Because while Type 2 error won’t drive the work forward, Type 1 error can get you sued.
Another thing you should care about is the impact a research design would have on the intended subjects.
substantiate the error and correct the protocol, or … if the issue is one of participatory, investigative, procedural, or representational malfeasance, I would extract myself from the “experiment.”
