Beyond Methodology - ethical implications of doing online researchNele Heise
This is my presentation at the conference "General Online Research" (March 5, 2013, in Mannheim). Please note: I had to leave out very important issues (such as obtaining consent and publication of data) due to time constraints. You will find some information on that in the "Appendix", i.e. the last four slides :)

Ethics, Openness and the Future of LearningRobert Farrow
What difference does openness make to ethics' This session will examine this question both from the perspective of research into OER and the use of open resources in teaching and learning. An outline of the nature and importance of ethics will be provided before the basic principles of research ethics are outlined through an examination of the guidance provided by National Institutes of Health (2014) and BERA (2014). The importance and foundation of institutional approval for OER research activities is reiterated with a focus on underlying principles that can also be applied openly.
I argue that with a shift to informal (or extra-institutional) learning there is a risk that we lose some clarity over the nature and extent of our moral obligations when working outside institutional frameworks – what Weller (2013) has termed "guerilla" research activity. Innovations of this kind could be free of licensing permissions; they could be funded by kickstarter or public-private enterprise; or they could reflect individuals working as data journalists. But we might also speak of "guerilla" education for innovations taking place on the fringes of institutional activity – from using social media to going full-blown "edupunk" (Groom, 2008). These innovations which employ variants of opennesss can also bring out morally complex situations.
I show how the principles underlying traditional research ethics can be applied openly while noting that, whether working within or outside institutions, there is almost no existing guidance that explains the ethical implications of working openly. Similar issues are raised with MOOC, which operate outside institutions but while drawing on institutional reputations and values. With this in mind I sketch out scenarios we are likely to encounter in the future of education:
- Issues around privacy, security and big data
- Intellectual property conflicts
- Ensuring fair treatment of class students and equivalent online students
- Meeting obligations to content creators
- The ethical status of MOOCs and their obligations to their students
- Moral dimensions of open licenses
- The ethics of learning analytics and the data it produces
I argue that, while models for ethical analysis have been proposed (e.g. Farrow, 2011) more attention should be paid to the ethics of being open. I conclude with an examination of the idea that we have a moral obligation to be open, contrasting prudential and ethical approaches to open education. At the heart of the OER movement, I argue, is a strong moral impulse that should be recognized and celebrated rather than considered the preserve of the ideologue: openness is not reducible to lowering the marginal cost of educational resources. Openness is a diverse spectrum and to leverage its true potential we need to reflect deeply on how technology has the power to challenge the normative assumptions we make about education.

How do you define research ethics? Discuss Ethics and the Research Process. Why researcher should be ethical. Discuss General Ethical Theories and Ethical Principles. What are the Specific Ethical Problems? Describe Ethics and Online Research.
Ethics are the moral principles that a person must follow, irrespective of the place or time. Behaving ethically involves doing the right thing at the right time. Research ethics focus on the moral principles that researchers must follow in their respective fields of research.
This is one of the lectures for the POGS Research Forum in Bacolod, mostly based on the chapter on Clinical Practice Guidelines for Ethics Review from the POGS Research Handbook: The Essentials. I hope this can be a guide for residents who are preparing their research proposal for ethical review.

Ethics has to do with moral principles that control or influence a person’s behavior. Research ethics has taken a prime position in the process of research. Digital watermarking as a technology that embeds information, in machine-readable form, within the content of a digital media file could raise privacy issues if deployed in ways that fail to take privacy into account. Digital watermarking can be applied to different applications including digital signatures, fingerprinting, broadcast and publication monitoring, authentication, copy control, and secret communication. This paper brings to view various ethical concerns of digital watermarking such as privacy, piracy, deception and anonymity.
Trust and Accountability: experiences from the FAIRDOM Commons Initiative.Carole Goble
Presented at Digital Life 2018, Bergen, March 2018. In the Trust and Accountability session.
In recent years we have seen a change in expectations for the management and availability of all the outcomes of research (models, data, SOPs, software etc) and for greater transparency and reproduciblity in the method of research. The “FAIR” (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) Guiding Principles for stewardship [1] have proved to be an effective rallying-cry for community groups and for policy makers.
The FAIRDOM Initiative (FAIR Data Models Operations, http://www.fair-dom.org) supports Systems Biology research projects with their research data, methods and model management, with an emphasis on standards and sensitivity to asset sharing and credit anxiety. Our aim is a FAIR Research Commons that blends together the doing of research with the communication of research. The Platform has been installed by over 30 labs/projects and our public, centrally hosted FAIRDOMHub [2] supports the outcomes of 90+ projects. We are proud to support projects in Norway’s Digital Life programme.
2018 is our 10th anniversary. Over the past decade we learned a lot about trust between researchers, between researchers and platform developers and curators and between both these groups and funders. We have experienced the Tragedy of the Commons but also seen shifts in attitudes.
In this talk we will use our experiences in FAIRDOM to explore the political, economic, social and technical, social practicalities of Trust.

Big Data can generate, through inferences, new knowledge and perspectives. The paradigm that results from using Big Data creates new opportunities. Big Data has great influence at the governmental level, positively affecting society. These systems can be made more efficient by applying transparency and open governance policies, such as Open Data. After developing predictive models for target audience behavior, Big Data can be used to generate early warnings for various situations. There is thus a positive feedback between research and practice, with rapid discoveries taken from practice.

Deliberative Democracy as a Strategy for Co-designing University Ethics Around Analytics and AI in Education
Simon Buckingham Shum
Connected Intelligence Centre, University of Technology Sydney
Universities can see an increasing range of student and staff activity as it becomes digitally visible in their platform ecosystems. The fields of Learning Analytics and AI in Education have demonstrated the significant benefits that ethically responsible, pedagogically informed analysis of student activity data can bring, but such services are only possible because they are undeniably a form of “surveillance”, raising legitimate questions about how the use of such tools should be governed.
Our prior work has drawn on the rich concepts and methods developed in human-centred system design, and participatory/co-design, to design, deploy and validate practical tools that give a voice to non-technical stakeholders (e.g. educators; students) in shaping such systems. We are now expanding the depth and breadth of engagement that we seek, looking to the Deliberative Democracy movement for inspiration. This is a response to the crisis in confidence in how typical democratic systems engage citizens in decision making. A hallmark is the convening of a Deliberative Mini-Public (DMP) which may work at different scales (organisation; community; region; nation) and can take diverse forms (e.g. Citizens’ Juries; Citizens’ Assemblies; Consensus Conferences; Planning Cells; Deliberative Polls). DMP’s combination of stratified random sampling to ensure authentic representation, neutrally facilitated workshops, balanced expert briefings, and real support from organisational leaders, has been shown to cultivate high quality dialogue in sometimes highly conflicted settings, leading to a strong sense of ownership of the DMP's final outputs (e.g. policy recommendations).
This symposium contribution will describe how the DMP model is informing university-wide consultation on the ethical principles that should govern the use of analytics and AI around teaching and learning data.

Towards Decision Support and Goal Achievement:
Identifying Action-Outcome Relationships From Social
Media

ABSTRACT
Every day, people take actions, trying to achieve their per-
sonal, high-order goals. People decide what actions to take
based on their personal experience, knowledge and gut in-
stinct. While this leads to positive outcomes for some peo-
ple, many others do not have the necessary experience, knowl-
edge and instinct to make good decisions. What if, rather
than making decisions based solely on their own personal
experience, people could take advantage of the reported ex-
periences of hundreds of millions of other people?
In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of mining the
relationship between actions and their outcomes from the
aggregated timelines of individuals posting experiential mi-
croblog reports. Our contributions include an architecture
for extracting action-outcome relationships from social me-
dia data, techniques for identifying experiential social media
messages and converting them to event timelines, and an
analysis and evaluation of action-outcome extraction in case
studies.
1. INTRODUCTION
While current structured knowledge bases (e.g., Freebase)
contain a sizeable collection of information about entities,
from celebrities and locations to concepts and common ob-
jects, there is a class of knowledge that has minimal cov-
erage: actions. Simple information about common actions,
such as the effect of eating pasta before running a marathon,
or the consequences of adopting a puppy, are missing. While
some of this information may be found within the free text of
Wikipedia articles, the lack of a structured or semi-structured
representation make it largely unavailable for computational
usage. With computing devices continuing to become more
embedded in our everyday lives, and mediating an increasing
degree of our interactions with both the digital and physical
world, knowledge bases that can enable our computing de-
vices to represent and evaluate actions and their likely out-
comes can help individuals reason about actions and their

"Most print and TV news media also run websites providing a diverse range of features and/or social media profiles that complement traditional feedback channels Previous research suggests that only a minority of committed users regularly engages with these participatory features. But little is known about the reasons and causes for this reluctance and participation barriers from the user perspective.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Revisiting Digital Media and Internet Research Ethics. A Process Oriented Approach
1. REVISITING DIGITAL
MEDIA & INTERNET
RESEARCH ETHICS
A Process Oriented Approach
NELE HEISE, M.A. | @NELEHEISE
WORKSHOP ”RESEARCH ETHICS FOR DATA AND DIGITAL METHODS”
NOVEMBER 29, 2016 | DATA SCHOOL UTRECHT
2. Hello.
Media Researcher at the University of Hamburg +
Graduate School Media and Communication Hamburg;
forms, practices and conditions of media participation in
the digital age, as well as ethics of online communication
and digital media, e.g. Big Data, algorithms
Master thesis: »Ethics of Internet Research« (2011)
7. »The social sciences can […] have a
tremendous impact on society, even to
the point of revolutionizing our
conceptions of human nature, society,
and culture.«
DIENER & CRANDALL [1978: 195]
15. Ethical challenges and questions, according to The Alan
Turing Institute & Oxford Internet Institute:
how data is generated, recorded, shared (ethics of data)
how artificial intelligence, machine learning and robots
interpret data (ethics of algorithms)
devising responsible innovation and professional codes
to guide this emerging science (ethics of practice)
See e.g. special issue of Philosophical Transactions A on “the ethical impact
of data science” (ed. by M. Taddeo & L. Floridi)

Data Science &
Ethics
18. RESEARCH ETHICS: KEY ELEMENTS
Ethics are guidelines and principles that help us to
uphold our values – to decide which goals of research are
most important and to reconcile values and goals that
are in conflict. Ethical guides are not simply prohibitions;
they also support our positive responsibilities.
DIENER/CRANDALL [1978: 3]
(shared) valuesdecision-making responsibility
20. Ethics as safeguard for good scientific practice,
based on trust, scientific freedom, …
responsibilities regarding
employees, colleagues, team members, peers,
scientific community, … [internal]
participants, society, clients etc. [external]
21. ETHICAL PRINCIPLES & STANDARDS
Core principles:
Human Dignity,Autonomy (self-determination, agency)
& Respect for Persons
maximization of benefits and minimization of harms
(Nonmalificence & Beneficence), Justice
Protection, Safety & Fidelity
Research standards in regard to participants
– Voluntariness, informed consent
– Anonymity, Privacy & Confidentiality
– »Do no harm« (avoidance of potential risks)
23. »virtual worlds, as sites for
meaningful social interaction, also
tend to be sites where meaningful
ethical harm can occur […].«
VANACKER & HEIDER [2012: 83]
24. »Internet research encompasses inquiry that:
a) utilizes the internet to collect data or information, e.g., through online interviews,
surveys, archiving, or automated means of data scraping;
b) studies how people use and access the internet, e.g., through collecting and
observing activities or participating on social network sites, listservs, web sites,
blogs, games, virtual worlds, or other online environments or contexts;
c) utilizes or engages in data processing, analysis, or storage of datasets, databanks,
and/or repositories available via the
d) studies software, code, and internet technologies
e) examines the design or structures of systems, interfaces, pages, and elements
f) employs visual and textual analysis, semiotic analysis, content analysis, or other
methods of analysis to study the web and/or internet-facilitated images, writings,
and media forms.
g) studies large scale production, use, and regulation of the internet by governments,
industries, corporations, and military forces.«
MARKHAM & BUCHANAN [2012: 3f.]
25. CHALLENGES OF DIGITAL RESEARCH METHODS
De-contextualization (space/time) and global reach
of research and data
Data structures: networked, persistent, searchable, …
Informational constraints: disembodiment,
communicative distance, degree of social presence,
anonymity (verification/authentication)
Blurring boundaries of publicity and privacy (data,
spaces) and hybrid roles of the researcher
Legal gray areas and insecurities (no best practices)
26. e. g. frictionless sharing and »contextual integrity« [NISSENBAUM: 2004]
[DE-]CONTEXTUALIZATION
28. personal rights (of others) and handling of
personal identifiable information; right to
informational self-determination (in Germany)
data security and privacy (national, EU)
scientific freedom; science/education related laws
third parties and providers, e.g. Terms of Use
LEGAL CONTEXT
29. Many ethical conflicts in online / digital
media research occur due to violations of
communication norms and principles (e.g.
reciprocity, authenticity, personhood)
online research = communication
30. Research
Ethical rules (codes), standards and principles
Technical / methodological requirements
Research experience, practices and object of study
Use (Online) communication ethics
(In)formal rules of play (e.g. netiquettes)
Media literacy/competence
Technical and social frames of media practices
Characteristics of digital media environments
Terms of Use and providers’ rights
Ethical position & paradigm
Values (trust, responsibility, accountability)
hybrid contexts
DIGITAL MEDIA RESEARCH CONTEXTS
31. CONTEXTUAL DETAILS MATTER
Object(s) of analysis: texts, aggregated bits of information,
or the persons themselves?
use expectations of the online site and participants?
sensitivity of the information collected?
ages, geo-cultural-political affiliations, and/or
technological expertise of the online participants?
In what form are the researchers collecting data, and in
what forms are they re-distributing it?
Is the researcher using real names or real user/avatar
names, quoting passages, taking screenshots, etc.?
And where will this material appear and to whom will it be
accessible?
MCKEE & PORTER [2009: 7F.]
32. Type of Data
Type of Venues
and/or Contexts
set of questions to
reflect and evaluate
ethical practice
AoIR Guidelines [2012]
33. PRACTICAL JUDGEMENT
IN SPECIFIC CONTEXTS

36. »Different ethical issues become salient as the
researcher develops research questions, seeks
and gains access to individuals and/or
information, manages and protects personally
identifiable information, selects analytical
tools, and represents the data through
dissemination, in published reports,
conference presentations, or other venues.«

BIASES
39. When in the research process – and by whom
– is consent required?
Object of Study: actions/practices vs
artifacts/text
Accessibility and/or sensitivity of data and
information
Expectations of the users, e.g. regarding
publicity/privacy of information/behaviour, …
41. »it is not only […] a technology, an infrastructure, which
is simply there–it is appropriated and has a specific
meaning to us. If you are going to MySpace you do
different things than on Facebook […] these are very
different spaces or Lebenswelten, with different
functions and meanings. Once you acknowledge that […]
we as researchers have to take a certain position: not to
sniff around and observe everything because it is easily
accessible, but instead to be aware of the fact that these
spaces are made by people for themselves.«
PhD Candidate studying self-representation in SNS; in: HEISE [2013]
USERS’ PERSPECTIVES
42. Goal: protecting individual/group privacy and
personal identifiable information
Potential risks: de-anonymization due to
traceability of data, …
Possible approaches: »Data Fabrication«
[MARKHAM 2012], »visual paraphrases«, word
clouds etc.
Which degree of anonymization is required?
45. »There cannot be a blanket,
whole cloth approach to Internet
Research ethics.«
MCKEE & PORTER [2009: 7]
46. Process oriented ethical perspective as …
basis of research design and (individual/group)
practice sensitivity, deliberative process
means to improve your research, e.g. in regard to
project management (planning/adjusting), quality
of methods/data, impact (trust, responsibility),
transparency, accountability
flexible, adjustable case and context sensitive
framework to anticipate, address and evaluate
(potential) ethical dimensions of research
