  • Important for the researchers: don’t comment on information provided (remain neutral and unbiased) and dress appropriately according to traditions, customs and ways of the visited region.
  • Make sure you share the results of the research with the community so that they can profit from it.

  • It is important to protect the identity of the people sharing information with you, to make sure they are not harmed in any way.
