[Air-L] Ethics & data collection on Facebook

Wed Mar 8 00:39:19 PST 2017

Hi Denise,
what are the questions concerning ethics? The ethics of Facebook (them), or ethics in collecting data from FB pages (you/your student)? We at the Utrecht Data School run into issues of ethics all the time, as we capture/use wildley, made mistakes in the past (suppose we'll make some in the future, though trying to prevent it) and as we cooperate with public administrations and consult them on ethics. We developed the Data Ethics Decision Aid (DEDA) which is a table poster for discussing and reflecting on a research project's ethical issues and potential impact. And it is an interactive questionnaire addressing potential ethical issues. In our recent book are two chapters that might be of interest:

Get Your Hands Dirty. Emerging Data Practices as Challenge for Research Integrity (Gerwin van Schie, Irene Westra & Mirko Tobias Schäfer)

Research Ethics in Context. Decision-Making in Digital Research (Annette Markham & Elizabeth Buchanan)

The book is available as open access here: http://oapen.org/search?identifier=624771

Cheers,
mirko

Subject: [Air-L] Ethics & data collection on Facebook

Dear AIR-ers -

One of my students is working on Fb ethics to collect data from three Fb sites that she manages to market &resell womens’ 1950-style clothing (yes I work in fashion now).

I know we already had a long series of posts on reddit - but I would very much appreciate any references I can pass along to her.  She’s got a few papers off google scholar, I just think she might be missing the significant contribution from one of the AoIR members.

[Note: I’m back on Air-l after a 7 year absence and now looking forward to seeing a few familiar faces in Brisbane in 2019 - on MY side of the world! Lismore is about 2.5-3 hours from Brisbane].

Cheers, Denise
