Moral principles also apply to academic and scientific research, including those conducted for study, accurate citation of works, and publication in the majority of professional organizations and across a variety of disciplines. (Bateman 2012)

 

Deontology is an ethical theory that says actions are good or bad according to a clear set of rules.

Its name comes from the Greek word deon, meaning duty. Actions that align with these rules are ethical, while actions that don’t aren’t. This ethical theory is most closely associated with German philosopher, Immanuel KANT.
