Ethics: What about the researcher?

Abstract

As researchers, we strive to conduct research ethically. Discussions of what this “ethical research” might look like are often centred around the well-being of our participants. Whilst this is important when conducting research, we often forget about the well-being of ourselves, the researcher. This article argues that we need to increasingly recognise the impact our research has on us and pay more attention towards our own well-being as researchers.
