Open Data Institute: the Data Ethics Canvas

https://theodi.org/blog/why-we-need-the-data-ethics-canvas


"Data is emerging as a vital and virtual form of infrastructure that we rely on. This creates the opportunity to build better societies but also the risk that we lose trust, not just in data or facts but also in businesses and governments.

One of the ways that we can address this is to improve data ethics.

The choices made about what data is collected and how it is used should not be unfair, discriminatory or deceptive. Our new paper and tool will help you learn how to do this."

The culture of scientific research - Report

Throughout 2014, the Council undertook a series of engagement activities that aimed to inform and advance debate about the ethical consequences of the culture of scientific research.

The project aimed to explore the effects of a wide range of influences on scientific research, including funding mechanisms, publishing models, career structures and governance processes. This report summarises the findings of the project activities, which included a survey of almost 1000 scientists and others, and a series of discussion events at universities around the UK. A detailed analysis of the survey responses, a summary of the discussion events, and a background paper about the culture of scientific research in the UK are also available to download on this page.
