Common (mis)perceptions about IRB review of human subjects research

Mary R Lynn et al. Nurs Sci Q. 2005 Jul.

Abstract

Every researcher who conducts research involving human subjects for their data has experiences with one or more institutional review boards. Some view their institutional review board experiences as helpful; others view them as painful and obstructive. However, there are many misperceptions about institutional review boards and their operation. Some common misperceptions are presented and discussed in an effort to correct false views held by researchers.
