支付研究参与者的问题已经呈现出新的紧迫性，因为当代不稳定，不平等和紧缩的地理影响潜在的参与者，并在不同程度上影响早期职业研究人员，而大学更加重视公众参与和研究影响。在这里，我们提供的思考和建议，来自我们的经验，作为博士生在伦敦，作为不稳定的研究人员研究不稳定的生活。我们提出了一个案例，基于女性主义政治经济学的关怀伦理和不稳定性的阅读来支付参与者。我们讨论如何支付和支付多少。我们建议改变那些以怀疑的态度对待支付的机构规范，改变研究设计和资金，改变伦理审批程序和出版实践。
Questions of paying research participants have taken on a new urgency as contemporary geographies of precarity, inequality and austerity affect both potential participants and, to varying extents, early‐career researchers, while universities place greater emphasis on public engagement and research impact. Here, we offer reflections and recommendations that come from our experiences as PhD students in London, as precarious researchers researching precarious lives. We make a case for paying participants based on ethics of care and readings of precarity informed by feminist political economy. We discuss how and how much to pay. We recommend changes to institutional norms that have treated payments with suspicion, to research design and funding, and to ethical approval procedures and publishing practices.
