Title: The ethics of data sharing in e-social science Organisers: Annamaria Carusi and Marina Jirotka Oxford University Computing Laboratory and Oxford e-Research Centre Keynote speaker: Prof Elizabeth Buchanan, Center for Information Policy Research, School of Information Studies, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Call for position papers The new possibilities for conducting social science research created by e-Social Science also bring with them a number of ethical challenges regarding data use and re-use, access, archiving and management. While e-social science tools and technologies are forging ahead, they are also creating gaps and indeterminacies where it is not clear what ethical procedures or actions are appropriate. There are also often tensions and contradictions between different legal and institutional requirements, standards and conditions which researchers are expected to meet. Disciplinary and personal ethics can be further factors which make this a complex arena of ethical judgement and action. This workshop aims to bring together researchers in e-social science who have experience of ethical issues that arise in the context of data sharing, or who have conducted research in this area.
