Moving from Research Ethics Rview to Research Ethics System- A New Turn in Reserach Ethics Analysis

In the field of research ethics when evaluating quality standards the focus was often on the quality of institutional review board operations in order to examine whether policies and procedures result in a coherent, effective scheme for the protection of research participants. However, Hyder and al. in an article entitled “Moving from research ethics review to research ethics system in low- income and middle-income countries are of a different opinion. The authors are stating that development of effective programs for reviewing research and protecting participants engages wider issues surrounding the general stage of development and democratization of societies and cannot be addressed by regulatory process alone. They are also proposing a framework which links issues connected with research ethics with a country’s societal developmental status. The idea behind their framework is that organizational culture in which research is undertaken affects whether or not ethical conduct is supported and valued. In their work there are proposing a framework which, in their words, can be of use in analysis of the development of the research ethics. We will try to see whether this framework can be useful for the analysis of the Croatian situation.
