“…Often, the general public pays little attention to methodological minutiae. Instead, there is an implicit trust that studies can be interpreted and generalized based solely on their title, abstract, or press release (see [ 47 , 68 ]).…”

Guidelines concerning the potentially harmful effects of scientific studies have historically focused on ethical considerations for minimizing risk for participants. However, studies can also indirectly inflict harm on individuals and social groups through how they are designed, reported, and disseminated. As evidenced by recent criticisms and retractions of high-profile studies dealing with a wide variety of social issues, there is a scarcity of resources and guidance on how one can conduct research in a socially responsible manner. As such, even motivated researchers might publish work that has negative social impacts due to a lack of awareness. To address this, we propose 10 simple rules for researchers who wish to conduct socially responsible science. These rules, which cover major considerations throughout the life cycle of a study from inception to dissemination, are not aimed as a prescriptive list or a deterministic code of conduct. Rather, they are meant to help motivated scientists to reflect on their social responsibility as researchers and actively engage with the potential social impact of their research.

Ethical guidelines for research have historically been put in place to minimize risk for involved participants. However, researchers can also indirectly inflict harm on individuals and social groups through how they design, report, and disseminate their studies. There is a lack of training on these ethical aspects, evidenced by recent criticisms and retractions of high-profile studies dealing with societal issues, including race, sexual orientation, and professionalism. These cases reflect a profound lack of training and guidance on society-level ethical consequences. These consequences have become increasingly common due to the enhanced accessibility of scientific outputs in traditional and new media channels. Notably, considering the ethical ramifications of research is easier said than done. To initiate efforts to address this gap, we propose ten simple rules for researchers that wish to produce and disseminate research in a socially responsible manner. These rules cover major ethical considerations throughout the life cycle of a study (inception, pre-publication, and dissemination). Furthermore, these rules can serve as a springboard for reflections on ethical considerations in any and all scientific fields.
