Abstract
This paper examines beliefs and attitudes in the context of how they
influence the decisions of university Human Research Ethics Committees
(HRECs) as a preface to undertaking an empirical study in this area. It
also aims at establishing a conceptual framework to guide the design of a
questionnaire targeting beliefs about research ethics and the implications
of these beliefs on review practices of HREC members throughout
Australia.
