Abstract

To facilitate international collaboration and foster an institutional culture of ethical reflection, the Berlin Social Science Center (WZB) is developing its own research ethics policy. While drawing from international ethical principles developed for medical research, the WZB policy intends to be appropriate to social science research and the needs of a German institute. It also aims to balance scientific autonomy with protecting research subjects. / Um die internationale Zusammenarbeit zu erleichtern und der ethischen Reflexion einen festen Platz in der Institution zu geben, arbeitet das Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung (WZB) an eigenen Richtlinien zur Forschungsethik. Diese orientieren sich an Richtlinien, die international für die medizinische Forschung erarbeitet wurden, sie sollen aber sowohl den Bedürfnissen der Sozialwissenschaften als auch dem deutschen Kontext Rechnung tragen. Außerdem soll der Schutz der teilnehmenden Personen ebenso zu seinem Recht kommen wie die Autonomie der Wissenschaftler.
