While recruitment strategies are well-studied, participant feedback, a form of community engagement encouraged in research ethics guidance (e.g., CIOMS, 2016), is less often used to improve participant experiences and retention. This pilot study surveyed 25 former participants (20 completers, 5 non-completers) from four prior trials at a human health research center towards developing an online participant feedback survey to use across the entire center. Phone interviews were analyzed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Respondents reported mostly positive experiences with the mobile lab and staff. Participation motivations included altruism, curiosity, compensation, and therapeutic potential. Non-completers cited inconvenience. Findings demonstrate the value of participant feedback and informed the development of an online, center-wide feedback tool.","PeriodicalId":520668,"journal":{"name":"Journal of empirical research on human research ethics : JERHRE","volume":" ","pages":"15562646261488472"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149187749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the lived experiences and ethical dilemmas encountered by new media researchers through a comparative qualitative approach focusing on Türkiye as a distinctive legal and socio-cultural context. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve researchers (six from Türkiye and six from global regions including the US, Ireland, Spain, Pakistan, Brazil, and Nigeria). Findings indicate differences in how researchers perceive ethics: while global participants emphasize researcher identity and reflexivity, Turkish participants focus more on data security and academic integrity. Across contexts, participants describe Institutional Review Board (IRB) processes as largely procedural and lacking field-specific expertise. The study suggests that current challenges in digital research ethics cannot be addressed solely through legal frameworks and highlights the need for more context-sensitive and educational approaches within ethics governance.","PeriodicalId":520668,"journal":{"name":"Journal of empirical research on human research ethics : JERHRE","volume":" ","pages":"15562646261495663"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149187690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study shifts responsibility away from individual actors. It takes a qualitative approach to examine how the interactions between researchers, editors, and institutional structures contribute to conditions in which unethical practices may occur. A qualitative research design was used to gather data through semi-structured interviews and observations with 30 participants, comprising university lecturers, postgraduate students, journal editors, and research support professionals from various regions.The results suggest that competition for publication and career advancement, as well as a lack of mentorship, create environments that participants see as encouraging unethical practices - such as author manipulation, use of third-party writers, and inappropriate use of AI - to occur. AI tools were specifically characterized as facilitating interventions that may support these practices in the context of systemic pressures. Furthermore, some participants expressed concerns about the editorial and financial arrangements, which could negatively affect the peer-review process.This study indicates that unethical publishing practices should be understood as resulting from complex systemic and cultural factors, rather than individual actions. The study identifies the need for institutional changes, guidance on AI use, and policies to promote research integrity. The qualitative nature and limited sample size of the study mean the results are explorative and suggestive of perceived patterns, rather than generalizable. We suggest that future research use mixed methods to investigate the extent and effects of these dynamics.","PeriodicalId":520668,"journal":{"name":"Journal of empirical research on human research ethics : JERHRE","volume":" ","pages":"365-376"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148582100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Informed consent is gold standard to ensure ethical research. However, its implementation can impact participation of underserved groups who face disproportionate barriers around communication, health and research literacy, and limited availability for burdensome processes. Carefully considered application of waived consent may overcome barriers to inclusive participation. However, an understanding of when waived consent has been used, whether it supported inclusion research, and lessons that can be learnt, is lacking. We reviewed the UK Health Research Authority Confidentiality Advisory Group (HRA CAG) database for non-emergency individually randomised trials that were granted a waiver of consent. Nine trials were identified; these aimed to boost cancer screening uptake in deprived or underserved populations. Waived consent enabled inclusive research approaches for evaluating interventions such as culturally tailored screening kits and barrier-reducing tools. Further research is needed on patient perspectives and ethical safety in these consent models.","PeriodicalId":520668,"journal":{"name":"Journal of empirical research on human research ethics : JERHRE","volume":" ","pages":"275-283"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13554342/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148665604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While prior discourse has focused largely on AI-assisted writing and analysis, less attention has been given to its influence on data generation and integrity. This invited commentary examines emerging risks associated with generative AI use by researchers and participants, including data fabrication and AI-mediated participant responses. These developments challenge foundational assumptions regarding data authenticity, measurement validity, and the evidentiary basis of research. Implications for research ethics oversight, particularly for institutional review boards and research ethics committees, are also explored, including the need to consider transparency, data provenance, and methodological accountability in AI-enabled research environments. Practical strategies are proposed to mitigate risks. Ultimately, human participants research will require a shift toward systems that balance trust-based models with structured verification mechanisms, alongside the development of clear institutional and international guidelines for responsible AI integration.","PeriodicalId":520668,"journal":{"name":"Journal of empirical research on human research ethics : JERHRE","volume":" ","pages":"377-383"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147978631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
