[Air-L] AoIR ethics guidelines - newspaper piece

[Charles M. Ess]

Dear Jill, AoIR-ists,

just to say: thanks a million for this!  It's a very fine précis indeed 
of the history and current work, and certainly puts AoIR in an excellent 
light for our engagement in these domains.

For those outside of Norway: for Jill to have managed to get this 
article accepted in Morgenbladet is roughly like getting an article 
placed in the New York Review of Books or the Times Literary Supplement 
in terms of the level of intellectual quality demanded and the 
reputation of the newspaper as _the_ newspaper to be published in as a 
prominent academic, public intellectual, intelligent politician, etc. 
Kudos and commendations!

Again, many thanks and looking forward to the next presentations and 
discussions of the IRE 3.0 documents in the coming weeks, both in 
Brisbane and in Bergen.

All best,
- charles

This is for a weekly column they have on the latest news in research, where researchers from different fields take turns to describe something new in their field. I’m not sure how many people actually read this, but I do quite like seeing AoIR and research ethics discussions in a newspaper. Obviously, with a 3500 character limit and a popular readership, it’s an extremely simplified discussion, but here it is:
