Description
This ERF (Emerging Research Forum) paper focuses on the ethical implications of IS academic big data research. We explore how big data research raises concerns about privacy, human subjects protection and research integrity that are not yet adequately addressed by law, regulation, or the norms of acceptable research conduct. The objective is to increase awareness and promote constructive debate, with the ultimate goal of developing consensus in the field about appropriate research data use practices.
