The aim of this editorial was to discover the value of research supervision by reflecting on many years of researching the phenomenon. The main benefits of research supervision are improvements in the quality of academic education, the quality of practice, and nursing and midwifery disciplines. Hence, these values must be acknowledged and more resources, both at universities and in clinical practice, are required. The advantages of research supervision are inherent in all its aspects. More education in research supervision is required in order to implement strategies that improve the level of quality in practice, as well as further research in this area. From an ethical perspective, one of the research questions that needs to be addressed is: Which different responsibilities and rights are important in the supervisory process? This question can be answered by using a multidisciplinary perspective for the purpose of enhancing the quality of education and patient care.
