2. Ethics and research Ethical action in research arises from rich, context-sensitive deliberation at the intersection of practical wisdom, theoretical understanding and principled reasoning … Ethical codes and guidelines may offer further resources for ethical deliberation, as well as providing the procedural framework for institutional sanctioning of researcher’s chosen courses of action and actual conduct. For individual researchers, it is important not just to achieve technical compliance (ethical ‘approval’ or ‘clearance’) … but also to develop their personal understanding of ethical principles and contexts, their commitment to ethical research, and the ability to act wisely in ethically complex situations. Punch and Oancea, 2014: 75
