Our research ethics principles
Arttao consistently upholds a development philosophy that prioritizes both scientific research and research ethics. We believe that any innovative research must be built upon respect for research participants, adherence to academic norms, protection of individual privacy, and commitment to scientific integrity. Research ethics are not only fundamental requirements for conducting scientific research but also crucial guarantees for establishing international collaborations, maintaining academic credibility, and promoting the sustainable development of science.
As an AI-powered cultural psychology research platform under construction, Arttao adheres to the principles of evidence-based science in all its research, avoiding exaggeration of results, presupposition of conclusions, and the use of unverified designs as scientific facts. All research directions, tools, and digital interaction systems proposed by the platform are treated as scientific research objects and will be continuously validated and improved through experimental research, data analysis, and peer review.
I. Respect for Participants
Arttao respects the dignity, right to know, right to make independent decisions, and right to withdraw from research of all research participants. All future research involving human participation will be conducted in accordance with the ethical approval requirements of the cooperating university or research institution, and with the full knowledge and voluntary consent of the participants.
II. Privacy Protection
The platform places great importance on personal privacy and data security. All future collection, storage, analysis, and use of research data will comply with relevant laws and regulations and the data management requirements of partner institutions. Strict protection will be exercised over personally identifiable information, and no personally identifiable information will be disclosed without authorization.
III. Upholding Scientific Integrity
Arttao adheres to the principles of honesty, objectivity, and transparency in scientific research, refraining from falsifying data, altering results, or concealing research findings. All research results should accurately reflect the research process and are subject to peer review and academic oversight.
IV. Adhere to Evidence-Based Research
The platform will not assume that a design has therapeutic effects simply because it is innovative; nor will it infer that a culture or culture has a long history and therefore necessarily possesses mental health value. All research conclusions should be based on scientific experiments, data analysis, statistical verification, and replication studies.
V. Respect Intellectual Property
Arttao respects the intellectual property rights and academic achievements of all collaborating researchers, universities, and research institutions. All future collaborative projects will adhere to the cooperation agreement regarding authorship, publication, data usage, and intellectual property ownership, jointly maintaining a fair, just, and open research collaboration environment.
VI. Adhere to the ethical review system.
In the future, for any projects involving human participation, behavioral data collection, or related experimental research, Arttao will work with partner universities, hospitals, and research institutions to comply with the institutional review board (IRB) requirements of their respective organizations and conduct relevant research only after obtaining formal approval.
International Cooperation Commitment
Arttao welcomes academic collaborations with universities, hospitals, and research institutions worldwide, and is committed to adhering to internationally accepted research ethics, academic integrity principles, and data security management requirements. We hope to jointly promote the development of fields such as cultural psychology, digital mental health, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction through open collaboration, equal exchange, and scientific research.
Continuous improvement
With the development of the platform and the advancement of international cooperation, Arttao will continue to improve its research ethics system, update relevant policies and norms in a timely manner, and continuously enhance the platform's scientific rigor, standardization, and international cooperation capabilities, providing a solid guarantee for conducting high-quality and responsible scientific research.
