“…Resnik and colleagues emphasize the importance of training research leaders in facing ethical, financial and interpersonal issues. Moreover, increasing research leaders' communication skills might be crucial in transferring responsible research practices to the research team (Resnik et al 2021). Regarding the question of whether such trainings should be mandatory for supervisors and research leaders, the positive impact that mandatory training might have should be weighed against the potential or perceived increased administrative and time-related burden that supervisors may feel when making these trainings mandatory.…”

This paper started from an inductive ethnography conducted within a cancer research lab in Belgium. The primary objective was to explore how researchers make decisions and rationalize their scientific practices. Through data collected from participant observation, interviews, and analysis of research protocols, the study exposes serious knowledge gaps that compromise research ethics. Specifically, the findings reveal the scientists’ need for more understanding of the validity of their lab machines and the readymade consumables procured from external providers. Moreover, without questioning this dependency, our participants (scientists) rely heavily on machines and consumables for almost all their research protocols. The findings suggest that cancer researchers place unjustifiable trust in the lab’s machines and the external providers’ reliability; this compromises the following three fundamental ethical principles: research integrity, responsible conduct, and the responsibility of using resources and technologies.
