Title: The ethical issues of e-research

Name: Annamaria Carusi

Affiliation: University of Oxford


Abstract Details

E-social sciences are becoming increasingly entrenched as ways of carrying out social science. The computational methods of e-social science are not mere technical artefacts, but come with their own methodological and value assumptions. What are these assumptions? How can ethical reflection be incorporated into the methodologies of e-social science? What are the different ways of being ethical or manifesting ethical concerns that the e-social sciences open up? This session aims to provide an opportunity for discussion on these and related questions.

We will also be launching an online debate 'Towards an Ethics Manifesto in e-Research'.
