This article problematizes what is commonly known as “research ethics” and proposes to enunciate it critically as research morality. This morality –even being a significant advance to protect those who participate in research– has not been sufficient to prevent that research practices follow extractivist and colonialist logics. It is necessary to orient, complement, and enhance research morality based on a postformalist ethics, whose articulating axis is the configuration of research interactions. This essay develops this proposal in three moments: The first one defines what can be critically understood as research morality; the second addresses two possible conditions for a postformalist ethics (ethics as critic and the ontological turn); as an in-conclusion, the third moment presents ways to define a postformalist ethics of research and think the ethical research interactions.
