  • A Guide to Discuss Ethical Issues in Digital Research Second Edition
    Ethical challenges in digital research 2nd edition ETHICAL CHALLENGES IN DIGITAL RESEARCH A guide to discuss ethical issues in digital research Second edition Ethical challenges in digital research 2nd edition Ethical challenges in digital research – A guide to discuss ethical issues in digital research Second edition January 2020 Developed by DIGETIK at Aalborg University as part of DIGHUMLAB Authors Line Lisberg Christensen, Research Assistant Malene Charlotte Larsen, Associate Professor Layout Steffen Madsen, DIGHUMLAB i Ethical challenges in digital research 2nd edition I. Introduction to document The ever-changing development of digital technologies and digital infrastructure makes it necessary for us as researchers to change approaches to digital research within the humanities. In terms of research ethics, we can no longer use traditional laws and guidelines that only match the non-digital world. In a time where it is necessary to change and re-think our ways of doing research, we bring to you this second version of Ethical Challenges in Digital Research to initiate discussions about ethical research and to help guide you in your digital research. The compound may serve you as a guideline to ethical research, a helpful tool to those in need of inspiration or merely as a list of literature that is relevant to your field, whether that is: big data, surveillance, privacy, games and gamification, ethics in studies with children and adolescents, health research, journalism, ethnographic studies, visual methods, vulnerable groups, web archives, economy, risky business for researchers or one of the many other categories in this collection of ethical digital research. We initially created this document with the intention of helping scholars reflect and discuss the ethical dimensions of their digital research, whilst providing guidance and insight about how to deal with these issues.
