The paper is an introductory text to the thematic section of the current issue. The issue is devoted to the publication of the results of a study of undergraduate research work at FEFU in 2021–2022. The goal of the project was to investigate the why of the spread of dishonest behavior and violation of academic ethics in the student community. The text describes some of the methodological and ethical difficulties during the project in planning, collecting and publishing the results. The first part describes three groups of factors that researchers typically have to deal with ethical dilemmas. Next, a brief description of the project and a solution to the sampling design is presented. The authors of the project take a situational approach to solving ethical issues. The paper concludes with a brief description of the papers in the section. As the main conclusion to the text, an ethical principle is presented that was put to work for the project described.
