This article aims to set a roadmap for an ethical programme, which we call “qualitative migration research ethics” (QMRE). It is a scoping review that maps current ethical challenges that migration scholars often face and provide guidance, while acknowledging the fact that many researchers deal with ethical issues on a case-by-case basis.,By connecting three lines of debates – ethics in social sciences, in qualitative research and in migration studies – this article addresses the following core questions: What are the particular ethical dilemmas in qualitative migration research (QMR)? How do migration researchers deal with these ethical dilemmas? What is the role of universal ethical codes of conduct and case-by-case ethical considerations in dealing with particular situations?,This review demonstrates that special aspects of migration research context, e.g. participants' mobility, potential vulnerability and migration as a politicized issue as well as the flexible and exploratory nature of qualitative research require particular ethical awareness that cannot be sufficiently addressed by standardized guidelines.,It proposes that efforts to raise ethical awareness must go beyond researchers' ethical confessions or blind adherence to pre-fixed guidance. Researchers must have critical “ethical radar” before, during and after their fieldwork; not only while working on extreme and vulnerable cases but also while doing all kind of research regardless of the level of vulnerability. Last but not least, this article claims the need for including critical ethical consciousness substantially in higher education programmes at the very beginning of the research career.

定性移民研究伦理：移民学者的路线图

本文旨在为道德计划设定路线图，我们称之为“定性移民研究道德”（QMRE）。这是一份范围广泛的综述，它描绘了移民学者经常面临并提供指导的当前道德挑战，同时承认许多研究人员逐案处理道德问题。通过将辩论的三行联系起来：社会道德科学，定性研究和移民研究–本文解决以下核心问题：定性移民研究（QMR）的特殊伦理困境是什么？移民研究人员如何应对这些道德困境？在处理特殊情况时，普遍的道德行为守则和个案道德考量起什么作用？，这项审查表明，移民研究背景的特殊方面，例如参与者的流动性，潜在的脆弱性和移民是一个政治问题，以及定性研究的灵活性和探索性，都需要特殊的道德意识，而标准化准则无法充分解决这一问题。提出提高道德意识的努力必须超出研究人员的道德自白或盲目遵守预先确定的指导。研究人员在实地考察之前，之中和之后必须配备关键的“道德雷达”；不仅在处理极端和脆弱案例时，而且在进行各种研究时，无论脆弱程度如何。最后但并非最不重要的，
