Ethics in processing research participant’s payments: navigating institutes’ finance and administrative mandate

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Processing payments (reimbursements or honoraria) to study participants by researchers working in institutional setups can raise ethical concerns, as the institute's administration and finance departments control the procedural mandate of this issue. This commentary discusses this critical and often ignored aspect and provides suggestions that could help minimise the risk of violating research participants' anonymity.
