Are Recent Changes to the BACB's Ethics Code on Research Appropriate for all Subdisciplines?
Article in Behavior analysis in practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Over the past decade, there have been numerous calls to diversify areas of practice within applied behavior analysis (ABA) and broaden our consumer base. Although there have been some success stories, ABA practitioners still largely serve individuals diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We contend that it may not be beneficial to be overly prescriptive in research ethics with human subjects as different areas of work may have their own standards and/or best practices. To illustrate this point, we surveyed active researchers in organizational behavior management (OBM), a subdiscipline with arguably less vulnerable clientele, about their research practices related to approval and consent. The survey indicated that OBM researchers do not always obtain informed consent or formal research review prior to the onset of data collection. Other areas in which human behavior is frequently studied outside the laboratory are discussed to expand upon conclusions and recommendations.
