As a researcher, I find this fascinating. Would you mind citing the requirements that all human research requires consent?

I agree with it, and I feel it's my duty to be well-informed on this. So I thought I'd ask you.

Everything I can find is only applicable for medical research, and not social research.



Most universities require all social science research to go through IRB. https://sociology.unc.edu/graduate-program/graduate-research...

I've been seeing this a few times now. Extremely ignorant computer scientists and STEM folks skipping IRB and claiming "theyve never even heard of getting approval for social research". Pretty gross in my view honestly.
