Call for position papers 

 

The new possibilities for conducting social science research created by
e-Social Science also bring with them a number of ethical challenges
regarding data use and re-use, access, archiving and management. While
e-social science tools and technologies are forging ahead, they are also
creating gaps and indeterminacies where it is not clear what ethical
procedures or actions are appropriate. There are also often tensions and
contradictions between different legal and institutional requirements,
standards and conditions which researchers are expected to meet.
Disciplinary and personal ethics can be further factors which make this a
complex arena of ethical judgement and action.

 

This workshop aims to bring together researchers in e-social science who
have experience of ethical issues that arise in the context of data sharing,
or who have conducted research in this area.
