Researchers have multiple roles to play, not simply as people skilled in the investigatory process, but as advocates for their research participants in giving voice to often unheard social groups, as drivers of quality improvement through timely publication of new knowledge, and, in the case of non-commercial funding, as guardians of the public purse through efficient organisation and management.
