Ethics in qualitative research is concerned with the shared principles that qualitative researchers purport to uphold that guide our behavior in the field and our interactions with research participants. Ethics addresses the protection of human participants in research, including issues of confidentiality, privacy, anonymity, advocacy, and human dignity.
