Audiovisual resources on the ethical processing of research in Brazil

Abstract

Considering that the ethical processing of projects is essential for the integrity of research, the aim was to characterize audiovisual resources with guidelines on the submission of projects for ethical appraisal in Brazil, by means of bibliographical and documentary research, using the descriptors ethical review; Conep; research ethics committees; Plataforma Brasil; and information guide. The search was carried out in databases and on YouTube, the channel of the National Research Ethics Commission and those linked to universities. The analysis criteria were type of material, date, dissemination channel and institution. In total, 1,867 resources were found, 46 of which were eligible for analysis, of which 8 were written materials and 37 instructional videos, totaling around 26h40 of content, ranging from 257 to 60 thousand views. Informative videos stand out among the resources that guide Brazilian researchers in submitting projects to Research Ethics Committees.
