Research aimed at understanding and preventing disease or at improving the diagnosis or treatment of disease is generally welcomed by society, especially where it is conducted primarily with altruistic motives. Such research may carry risks for the human subjects involved. Experience has shown that even well-motivated researchers may pursue their research inappropriately, to the detriment of the research subjects. To protect research participants, international and national codes of research ethics have been in place for nearly 50 years. In Australia, health and medical research is now overseen by nationally regulated research governance systems in place in hospitals and medical research institutes [1–2], a key element of which is prospective ethical review of research proposals by human research ethics committees (HRECs). This chapter summarises the ethical principles of human research, the governance of research, the expected standards of good research practice, the responsibilities of clinical researchers and the topic of research misconduct by doctors. Overlapping with research are clinical audit and quality assurance studies in which doctors are increasingly expected to participate and which can raise similar ethical issues.
