Information for applicants
Recruiting participants
The doctrine of valid consent operates here. That is, participants should enter into the research freely and willingly and know and understand what they are agreeing to when they take part. They should be told they have the right to withdraw from the research at any time. Wherever possible, anonymity and confidentiality should be maintained. If the experimental design necessitates some deliberate deception then participants should be told the purpose of the experiment and why information was withheld or why they were misled after the experiment is finished.
