“…For a collaboration to be equitable, it must also ensure equality (Hendricks and Donnir 2019 ), and publishing provides one viable possibility for this to be achieved, in which the production of an academic paper confers reward and prestige, and provides intellectual equality, even in a resource-minimalist setting. Although simple long-distance email or online-based techniques can be used to achieve an objective such as mental health research capacity-building (Mathai et al 2019 ), and since there is a considerable divide between the health and mental health infrastructures in LICs and HICs (Palk and Stein 2020 ; Palk et al 2020 ), great care and caution are needed for the online collection of data, for example via social media (Bamdad, Finaughty, and Johns 2022 ).…”

This paper explores that the topic of ethics dumping (ED), its causes and potential remedies. In ED, the weaknesses or gaps in ethics policies and systems of lower income countries are intentionally exploited for intellectual or financial gains through research and publishing by higher income countries with a more stringent or complex ethical infrastructure in which such research and publishing practices would not be permitted. Several examples are provided. Possible ED needs to be evaluated before research takes place, and detected prior to publication as an academic paper, because it might lead to a collaborative effort between a wealthier country with restrictive ethical policies and a less wealthy country with more permissive policies. Consequently, if that collaboration ultimately results in an academic paper, there are ethical ramifications of ED to scholarly communication. Institutional review board approval is central to avoid ED-based collaborations. Blind trust and goodwill alone cannot eliminate the exploitation of indigenous or “vulnerable” populations’ intellect and resources. Combining community-based participatory research using clear codes of research conduct and a simple but robust verification system in academic publishing may reduce the risks of ED-based research from being published.

“…These challenges aside, areas of neuroenhancement that have been discussed, in terms of their ethical implications, include various aspects of cognition, including memory and attention (Racine, Sattler & Boehlen, 2021), wakefulness (Ravelingien & Sandberg, 2008), mood (Palk & Stein, 2020a), and even pro social attitudes like empathy, referred to as moral bioenhancement (Persson & Savulescu, 2012). Cognitive enhancement, however, receives significant attention in discussions of neuroenhancement.…”
