AB The intensifying pace of research based on cross-cultural studies in the  social sciences necessitates a discussion of the unique challenges of  multi-sited research. Given an increasing demand for social scientists to  expand their data collection beyond WEIRD (Western, educated, industrialized, rich and democratic) populations, there is an urgent need for  transdisciplinary conversations on the logistical, scientific and ethical  considerations inherent to this type of scholarship. As a group of social scientists engaged in cross-cultural research in psychology and anthropology, we  hope to guide prospective cross-cultural researchers through some of the complex scientific and ethical challenges involved in such work: (a) study site  selection, (b) community involvement and (c) culturally appropriate research  methods. We aim to shed light on some of the difficult ethical quandaries of  this type of research. Our recommendation emphasizes a community-centred  approach, in which the desires of the community regarding research approach  and methodology, community involvement, results communication and distribution, and data sharing are held in the highest regard by the researchers.  We argue that such considerations are central to scientific rigour and the  foundation of the study of human behaviour.
