There may be another clause or two required but for now the statement of ethics looks like this:

A statement of research ethics

I will undertake each cycle or phase of research wih a genuine intent to make improvements which I hope will bring benefit to myself and/or to others. Should it become apparant either to myself or as expressed by others that the action taken is having an opposite effect then I will abandon that cycle prematurely or take steps to mitigate the damage if the benefits are thought to substantially outweigh the disadvantages.

I will not take actions and decisions lightly, but after having given them serious reflective thought including an exploration of my own assumptions and motives.

I value the thoughts and opinions of others especially where they disagree with my own, and will endeavor to make space for them to be reported as a diversity with equal status.

Where personal writing is collected as data from anywhere other than fully public spaces, then permission to publish will be sought in each case, and anonymity will be offered as an option. In the case of data already published in public spaces where the implication of fair use is already granted, then I will ensure that the correct attribution remains attached to the author’s words but also be prepared to remove any such reference upon request, even after publication of my work.
