About the Project
-----------------
"Learning Data Ethics for Data Sharing" is an Open Educational Resource (OER) for library students, data librarians, or researchers interested in learning how to ethically share data into data repositories. Often DEIA topics are discussed in terms of data collection or in regards to public use of data; this work attempts to target responsible ethics at the process that is occurring while preparing to share data, with the goal of creating FAIR access to the data and reusability for future research.
This OER will explain how data ethics applies to data sharing, describing what data ethics is (including what constitutes as sensitive data) and the effects of good/bad data ethics in openly shared data; showing examples of final deposited data records in open data repositories; and showing model checklists and workflows behind data curation and risk assessment that can occur in preparation for open data sharing.
This OER consolidates many excellent resources to explore for further instructional details; summarizes many key concepts brought up in data ethics and data sharing conversations; and provides learning activities that engage, rather than statically tell, students about research ethics, sensitive data, and open data.
