The Belmont report subsequently was adopted as regulations for all research involving people supported or conducted by the US Department of Health and Human Services. The Common Regulations setting out the requirements for: review by the Institutional Review Board (IRB), informed consent, and additional protection to vulnerable populations govern all U.S. Government financed research, domestic and international human rights subjects. Polit and Beck (2011) have identified as vulnerable populations: children, people with mental or emotional disabilities, those with severe physical or illnesses, terminally ill people, institutionalized persons and women pregnant. Prior to conducting a study, research plans must be submitted to IRB to ensure that the plans put forward comply with federal ethical research requirements. The National Health Institutes also require that projects supported by NIH meet the current protection requirements for human subjects.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
