An informed  consent form  is only required when conducting research about the efficacy of new treatments.

 Consent forms  should be filled with technical and scientific language that only experts can understand.

Understanding the  cultural backgrounds 
of research participants is an essential part of conducting ethical research.

It's okay to
force someone into
 participating in research 
if you know you're going
to get good data from
the individual.

Investigators can offer
 large incentives 
to increase their enrollment rates and ensure participation in their study. 

Investigators can share
 participants'names  publicly if the results are important.

Investigators should  minimize harm  and maximize benefits in research studies.

Investigators should keep  clear records  of their methods and data.

 Conflicts of interest  don't influence research outcomes.

 Fabricating data  is a serious breach of research integrity.

A very large experiment including thousands of participants
can  conclusively answer 
a scientific question.

 Plagiarism  is considered a serious ethical violation in research.

Reusing your own
 previously written 
material in a new research publication is always
considered plagiarism.

When research is published in a  scientific journal , its results are guaranteed to be credible and reliable.

Only studies with
 significant or positive 
results are worth publishing.

 Open science  is merely about providing free access to research articles online.

Personal observations and
 everyday experiences  are enough to determine what is true about the world.

When multiple studies show similar results and a  scientific consensus  on a theory is reached, it cannot be questioned or revised.

Researchers should be encouraged to pursue
 any topic of enquiry , as the scientific method is versatile enough to handle all kinds of questions.

 Pseudoscience  does not rely on the methodological rigor and empirical evidence that are fundamental to conventional science.
