Is it ethical if you conduct a research without a permit?

Answer 1

You can conduct all the research you wish without a permit. In the process of doing this research, you are not allowed to make copies of someone else's questionnaires and use them and not pay a copy right fee. You may not be allowed to make copies of someones patented material and use it without paying a fee. Any product that you must give credit and perhaps pay a fee if you end up with anything that includes someone else's copyrighted material. You will pay a fee if it includes someone else's patented material. The research itself does not usually require a permit (unless it is done on government land or in government buildings or in some places which legally require it.) You may need a permit if it gives off toxic wastes or is dangerous.
