Scientific ethics and comparison on qualitative methodology approaches for research in social sciences. Examples of France and the United Kingdom

Resumen

In our society, there has been a controversy concerning the "research globalization". It seems that the harmonization of educational policies is taking place at the level of higher education. Thus, at the European Union’s level, the "common academic market" is already being invoked. This close collaboration generates a reciprocal inspiration of researchers both at the level of the topics addressed as well as at the level of the methodology. In this context, we can be questioned about the specificity of qualitative research in France and the United Kingdom. In this paper, we will present a model of scientific similarities arising from examples from the both countries to address the question. In order for this purpose, our analysis highlights the deontological arsenal, the scientific ethics and interview research methods applied to different contexts for academic research.
