Abstract

This paper suggests that some refinements might need to be considered to current codes of ethics for dissemination of research. The growth of research in music education over the last decade is reviewed, with examples from new journals, conferences and professional associations. It is argued that nowadays researchers have to address a multidisciplinary number of audiences and this should be taken into account in the regulations for conferences and publications with the incorporation of guidelines for contributors to address their specific audience and to explain any previous dissemination. The authorship of papers is also considered, in particular issues arising from multiple authorship, as well as the research participants' contribution to the final report. Some of these issues are discussed with reference to studies focussed on a particular topic (creativity in music education) within the context of music education research, but it is acknowledged that the discussion also applies to other fields of the humanities and social sciences.

Highlights

  • This paper suggests that some refinements might need to be considered to current codes of ethics for dissemination of research

  • The authorship of papers is considered, in particular issues arising from multiple authorship, as well as the research participants’ contribution to the final report. Some of these issues are discussed with reference to studies focussed on a particular topic within the context of music education research, but it is acknowledged that the discussion applies to other fields of the humanities and social sciences

  • This has been reflected in several special symposiums at research conferences, such as those organized by the Society for Education, Music and Psychology Research (SEMPRE, formerly the Society for Research in Psychology of Music and Music Education [SRPMME]), the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music (ESCOM), and the biannual International Conference of Research in Music Education (RIME)
