| Sumario: | Visual research methods require researchers to consider ethical concerns around the ownership of visual artefacts created by participants like drawings or photographs. While previous research has called for a stronger focus on the ethical considerations in visual research methods, very little attention has been given to copyright as a dimension of ownership. This conceptual paper asserts that copyright comprises an ethical dimension of visual research methods. Based on the experiences of the authors with graphic elicitation, this paper will discuss how copyright plays a role throughout the research process, with recommendations for navigating the Institutional Review Board application, informed consent, and publication processes.
