Public health research: Independence and academic freedom

Abstract:

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.
