在公民科学研究中使用物联网设备的伦理问题:范围审查
Ethical issues with using Internet of Things devices in citizen science research: A scoping review
摘要:
我们的章节提出了一个范围审查已发表的科学研究或案例研究的科学研究,利用公民科学家和物联网设备。具体来说,我们选择了作者至少对研究过程中遇到的伦理问题进行了简短讨论的研究。在对5个数据库(IEEE Xplore、Scopus、Web of Science、ProQuest和PubMed)进行检索后,我们确定了631个潜在结果。经过摘要和标题筛选,然后进行全文合格性评估,我们确定了34篇符合我们标准的已发表文章。然后,我们对这些文章的全文进行了归纳和演绎分析,将伦理问题分为三个主要类别。这些类别是自治和数据隐私,数据质量和知识产权。我们还分析了这些文章的全文,看看研究人员采取了什么策略来解决这些伦理问题,以及提出的任何法律问题。在此分析之后,我们的讨论为希望将公民科学家和物联网设备整合到他们的研究中的研究人员提供了建议。首先,所有公民科学项目都应整合数据隐私协议,以保护参与者的机密性。第二,科学研究人员在建立项目之前应考虑任何潜在的数据质量问题,包括是否需要妥协。最后,所有知识产权问题都应该在项目开始时和项目生命周期中澄清。研究人员还应该考虑使用商用物联网设备进行研究可能产生的任何伦理问题。
英文摘要:
Our chapter presents a scoping review of published scientific studies or case studies of scientific studies that utilise both citizen scientists and Internet of Things devices. Specifically, we selected studies where the authors had included at least a short discussion of the ethical issues encountered during the research process. Having conducted a search of five databases (IEEE Xplore, Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, and PubMed), we identified 631 potential results. Following abstract and title screening, and then full text eligibility assessment, we identified 34 published articles that matched our criteria. We then analysed the full text for these articles inductively and deductively, coding ethical issues into three main categories. These categories were autonomy and data privacy, data quality, and intellectual property. We also analysed the full text of these articles to see what strategies researchers took to resolve these ethical issues, as well as any legal implications raised. Following this analysis, our discussion provides recommendations for researchers who wish to integrate citizen scientists and Internet of Things devices into their research. First, all citizen science projects should integrate a data privacy protocol to protect the confidentiality of participants. Secondly, scientific researchers should consider any potential issues of data quality, including whether compromises might be required, before establishing a project. Finally, all intellectual property issues should be clarified both at the start of the project and during its lifecycle. Researchers should also consider any ethical issues that might flow from the use of commercially available Internet of Things devices for research.
