Abstract

Research ethics is the basic attitude for researchers. Thanks to our predecessors we are able to conduct systematic studies. The current trend of results and the amount of study-oriented assessments make the side effect that researchers conduct SCI (Science Citation Index) studies. Since the Declaration of Helsinki, the importance of the right, safety and welfare for human participants have improved. In the present study, I looked into other countries' standpoints concerning the subject of the responsibilities for research ethics and compared them with Korean's standpoint. Recently, the Ministry of Health and Welfare revised the laws for bioethics and safety. In the point of bioethics, I checked out the function, exemption and process of the Institutional Review Board for the future researcher. It is suggested to use the research note to verify a study procedure and protect oneself from research misconducts.

연구윤리는 학문을 탐구하는 사람이 갖추어야 할 가장 근본적인 자세라고 할 수 있다. 많은 선학들의 훌륭한 연구 업적 덕분에 지금의 학문 체계가 마련될 수 있었다. 최근 증가되고 있는 결과 중심의 연구 풍토와 업적을 중시하는 평가 시스템은 일부 학자로서의 양심을 벗어난 연구를 부추기는 부작용을 낳을 수 있다고 사료된다. 이에 저자는 뉘른베르크 강령과 헬싱키 선언으로 시작된 연구윤리의 개념을 되짚어보고, 이를 강조하는 주체에 대한 각국의 입장과 국내 실정을 소개하며, 최근 개정된 "생명윤리 및 안전에 관한 법률"에 따른 기관생명윤리위원회의 역할, 심의면제 그리고 심의절차 등에 관해 검토해보고, 향후 연구자가 숙지해야할 내용을 점검해 보았다. 또한 연구 객관성의 확보와 연구부정행위에 대한 검증 및 대비를 위해 연구노트의 적극적인 활용을 고려해 보는 것을 제안하는 바이다.
