Abstract
HERNANDEZ-AGUADO, Ildefonso and CHILET-ROSELL, Elisa. Public Health Research: Independence and Academic Freedom. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2019, n.45, pp.59-71. ISSN 1886-5887.
This article aims to contribute to the debate on the objectivity of science, independence and academic freedom of researchers. Based on a brief overview of the factors that shape public health research, we intend to initiate a reflection from the ethical perspective on the freedom of researchers when conducting their research -the external and internal forces that shape it- and the social purpose of their research work, which should be the advancement of knowledge to increase social welfare and the health of populations.
Keywords : research; public health; independence; academic freedom; objectivity; influence; social responsibility of science.
