Abstract

BECCON DE ALMEIDA NETO, João  and  BATISTA FRANCO, Túlio. Analysis of publications on research ethics committees in Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.1, pp.27-50. ISSN 1657-4702.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.3641.

Considering the importance of the work developed by the Research Ethics Committees (REC) and their involvement with the history of bioethics training itself, the objective of this article is to analyze the sources of information on the Research Ethics Committees that involve human beings present in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), in order to map the main aspects of the field in this area. This is a descriptive exploratory investigation with systematic review analysis technique for data collection. 137 abstracts were retrieved, of which 41 were analyzed. By analyzing the data, it is verified that there is an increase in the publications on this subject as of 2010, not presenting a clear concentration in a specific newspaper. A large part of the studies is theoretical and varies between exploratory analysis of descriptive guidance on the role of the RES and criticisms on how they prepare their opinions. There is an intensification of the debate regarding the analysis of social research. In this sense, four points seem important to us: (a) the interference promoted by the CIS in relation to the research method; (b) the ethical analysis of the investigations of the human sciences cannot be seen as a relation of inclusion or exclusion; (c) the bureaucratization (burocratização) of the RES; and (d) the need for accreditation of the RES.

Keywords : bioethics; applied ethics; research ethics committee; research ethics that involves human beings; Social Sciences; ethical analysis; aesthetics of knowledge.
