Chapter 1 of the interesting sounding book "The Ethics of Science: An Introduction" by David B. Resnik has a short introduction and a couple of examples:
The Ethics of Research: An Introduction - Chapter 1

An article for the NIH (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences) by the same author, including a list of ethical principles in research and some more examples:
What Is Ethics in Research & Why Is It Important?

For a different perspective: An article by Ana M. Sobočan, Teresa Bertotti and Kim Strom-Gottfried about Ethical considerations in social work research for the European Journal of Social Work:
Ethical considerations in social work research

Optionally, here are four examples of Codes/Guidlines that could be interesting to skim through. One by the DFG (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) about "good research practice" in general, one by the European Commission for Anthropology and Ethnography [maybe closest to our field], a short one by ISA (International Sociological Association) and the Nuremberg code with its 10 principles for medical research.
