Sharing drafts with disagreeing interviewees is a test of research fairness.

Evidence

I think a good measure of fairness is whether, before publication, one can share one’s writing with interviewees with whom one might disagree. To that end, I showed drafts of sections and chapters to as many people involved in the research as possible and gave them opportunities to offer feedback, suggestions, and corrections. — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 1083
