5+1 This is absolutely true and also why in the near future western civilization is bound to collapse. Bureaucracy and the legal system will eat us alive.– DRFCommented Feb 11, 2019 at 14:48

4@DRF Not a legal issue atm (although it would have been if something bad had happened). And frankly, the bureaucracy here is not that intense; the OP was just not aware of it.– Azor Ahai -him-Commented Feb 11, 2019 at 16:45

1The point of the bureaucracy is to do more good than harm. Does it do that? I'm not so sure, after reading about so many cases of worthwhile research that was abandoned. It's not insurmountable, but how many good things did we already lose because people just don't bother anymore? This is especially true for counter-studies, given how rarely those are published.– LuaanCommented Feb 13, 2019 at 13:17

2@Luaan I'm not sure what you're referring to, but I'm not of the opinion this research was properly done and hampered by the bureaucracy.– Azor Ahai -him-Commented Feb 13, 2019 at 15:44

No disagreement there :) I'm more worried about the people who are deterred from even trying to do any research, not about people who just don't understand the rules.– LuaanCommented Feb 13, 2019 at 18:34

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
