In this article, it is discussed the importance of identifying and respecting the ethical specificities of research in Human and Social Sciences, in order to point out the relevance of the ethical education for the researcher and the adequate guidelines for these investigations. It is identified that the National Commission for Research Ethics (CONEP) continues with the positivist hegemony, represented by the vast biomedical majority, which results in contradictory guidelines on the use of the Resolution no. 510/2016, in terms of the composition of Research Ethics Committees and the ethical appreciation of research projects. From the experience as a member of CONEP, the publicly available material is analyzed, produced by CONEP and several contradictory guidelines with the Resolution no. 510/2016 are identified. It is important to defend it in its text and work towards an ethical review system in which there is the appreciation of the contextualized experience, with the objective of revealing the “top to bottom” logic and overcoming the hegemony that a single definition of research and of ethics “serves” for all areas. Keywords: Ethics. Humanities and Social Sciences. National Commission for Research Ethics (CONEP).
