Abstract: | This is an account of the evolution of ideas and the confluence of support and vision that has eventuated in the founding
of the Journal of Empirical Research on Human Research Ethics (JERHRE). Many factors have contributed to the creation of this
rather atypical academic journal, including a scientific and administrative culture that finally saw the need for it, modern
electronic technology, individuals across the world who were committed to somehow finding common ground between researchers
and those charged with ethical oversight of research, a network of helpful colleagues, and a university whose administration
gave moral support to the endeavor in a time of fiscal austerity. Perhaps equally important were the decisions to make JERHRE
a nonprofit undertaking, to emphasize the implications of empirical research for specific best practices, to serve the educational
needs of those concerned with human research, and to seek to stimulate the interest of students in gaining an evidence-based
understanding of the research contexts in which they decide to work. This article explores the ‘chemistry’ that has made it
possible to develop a somewhat unorthodox journal and set of related activities. |
