A chapter in e-Research Collaboration, 2010, pp 249-261 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The advancement of information and communication technologies changes the landscape of scientific research. Today’s scientific research demand collaboration among international as well as local members and many have adopted e-research collaboration. It ensures greater sharing of resources and expertise, greater networking and cooperation for scientific advancement while offering greater opportunities for technology, skills, and knowledge transfer. However, collaboration has posed challenges particularly regarding ethical issues. Collaboration projects across disciplines or nations which are governed by different rules cannot be easily resolved. For example, the dilemma arising from research involving countries or institutions that have IRB and those do not. Whose rules should be adhered to? Other issues that threaten e-research collaboration is the distortion of data due to technological glitches, threaten security which include invasion of privacy and tampered confidentiality. These issues need to be addressed to ensure more effective and efficient e-research collaboration that has the support and trust of the larger public.
