Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.
The three-model screen
all 1,000 screened works →All three models called this metaresearch. It is in the settled core of the field.
Comparative legal analysis of statute-based protections for research participant confidentiality, drawing lessons from US instruments for the Canadian context; the object is how research is governed and regulated in Canada, which is research policy analysis (a reasonable coder could call this core T1).
The paper analyzes legal protections governing research participants and their application to the Canadian research context.
Analyzes statute-based legal protections for research participant confidentiality, comparing US models for Canadian research governance.
Abstract
Abstract Many types of vital research require protection of communication and information provided confidentially by research participants. In Canada, apart from information collected under the Statistics Act , the only option is a common law balancing test that creates uncertainty insofar as law is made after the fact. This paper explores the option of statute-based protection from the outset. It examines two such protections that have been in place in the United States for decades—revealing their strengths and weaknesses and how they may be applied in the Canadian context.
