Solution Summary
There are standards of ethics all researchers must adhere. The ethical code of conduct are specific standards related to integrity, transferability, and trustworthiness. In past research studies, ethics was not always practiced and as a result, subjects were tortured, lied to, and suffered greatly due to side effects. Now, ethical standards are put into practice to avoid unethical treatments of humans subjects.

The standards for determining the quality of research include the credibility; whether the participants are truthful in their interviews, applicability; whether the information will be applicable and helpful to other researchers, consistency; whether the information is dependable and consistent across participants, and neutrality; whether the information can be confirmed and supported by academic journals. Integrity refers to the aspect of honesty and transparency in doing things. In qualitative research, integrity is of paramount importance since it enhances authenticity of one's work.

According to Creswell (2006), trustworthiness can be earned through interpretive research, which refers to a chain of documentations that others can read and interpret. All written accounts must be relative to the audience and compelling.
