Abstract

Compliance with research ethics is critical to the responsible conduct of research required by researchers. Research ethics means the rules and norms that researchers need to know and practice in the process of conducting their research. Therefore, it is important for researchers to accurately understand the specific contents of research ethics required at each stage of the research process. The paper explored the meaning and values of responsible conduct of research that researchers should pursue, and discussed what responsibilities researchers need to know and the specific roles they need to act on.
