Balancing Ethics and Time Constraints involves strategic planning, clear communication, and ongoing reflection throughout the research process. Researchers should prioritise ethical principles while acknowledging and mitigating time-related challenges. These include: Developing a detailed research plan that incorporates ethical considerations from the outset. Seek ethical approval early in the research process to address potential ethical concerns. Be flexible in adjusting research plans to accommodate ethical considerations without compromising timelines. Communicate expectations regarding time constraints with participants, colleagues, and mentors. Continuously reflect on the ethical implications of research decisions and adjust as needed.
