Principles for research in the human sciences are provided in the guide from the Finnish National Board on Research Integrity The ethical principles of research with human participants and ethical review in the human sciences in Finland. The guide has been updated in 2019 and research on human participants is here covered comprehensively, including different branches of science like Humanities, Social Sciences, Technology, Arts, and in parts also non-invasive health or medical research. If needed, the human sciences ethics committee can do a preliminary assessment of the thesis research. Medical research includes also research in health care and nursing, regarding which, preliminary assessments can be discussed with the principal lecturer.
Topics that require ethical review in the human sciences are avoided in Centria's theses
