Abstract

This research is a step towards production of science in line with the future of man. The persistence of human communities is dependent on their adherence to ethics. Ethics and research mutually interact and have effect on each other. Therefore, this research is aimed at providing strategies for achieving ethical research. Due to the importance of researches regarding science and scientific issues, the researchers decided to devise strategies after the investigation and identification of conditions and foundations. This research follows an applied purpose. In the first phase, the researchers looked for various keywords in the most important research institutes and internal and external databases. It resulted in the selection of 128 works directly related to research ethics. Finally, using the MAXQDA software and based on the grounded theory, initial codes were extracted from the selected research. They were then categorized and were used to design a model for the improvement of research ethics.
