The format of the research paper is designed to shed as much light as possible on how the research was conducted. It is assumed that the researcher is an ethical person who is impartial and is trying to find accurate information. Sometimes researchers conduct studies to test hypothesis; in other cases, they want to get more information about particular topics or problems. In all cases, however, researchers have a moral obligation to be as honest as possible and to present their findings as accurately as they can. They also must respect the privacy and dignity of any informants who participate in their research projects.
