This report examines the relationship between human subjects protections in the social sciences and the humanities, and big data research techniques that are emerging in technological fields such as statistics, computer science, and software engineering.

This report examines data ethics curricula and trainings from undergraduate and online courses to masters and doctorate programs, and provides historical background information, federal funding requirements, and current trends.

This report examines the history of Data Management Plan requirements by federal funders, challenges to implementation, and potential revisions to more thoroughly incorporate data ethics into research.

This document is meant to provide some example controversies to spark a conversation about how to learn from existing controversies and the battles that rage around them.

This document provides background on the history and development of ethics codes, focused on three fields connected to the ethical issues in big data: computing ethics, biomedical ethics and journalism ethics.

This project categorizes and analyzes projects about “big data” supported by the US National Science Foundation between 2012 and 2014.
