Pair explicit joint-role labels without deciding conflicts of duty.

Loading tool…

Description

Record a pair of roles associated with a stated duty conflict.

Ethics records describe supplied claims, roles, obligations, consent status and participation counts. Recording a permission modality or competing role does not resolve a duty conflict, establish valid consent or determine an ethically acceptable decision. Numerical balance and equal turn counts are limited summaries.

Record a pair of roles associated with a stated duty conflict.

When to use this tool

Use Duty Conflict Joint Role Token when checking the stated ethical-review record, obligation or participation convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter personRecordId, firstRole, secondRole. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read token. Use the output convention below.

{
  "input": {
    "personRecordId": "P17",
    "firstRole": "reviewer",
    "secondRole": "author"
  },
  "output": {
    "token": "[\"P17\",\"reviewer\",\"author\"]"
  }
}

Limitations and assumptions

  • Two roles do not by themselves establish a duty conflict; no interests, authority, recusal requirement or ethical conclusion is determined.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Review the original evidence, affected people’s interests and applicable professional/governance requirements with the responsible ethics team for substantive decisions.
