论文摘要
本文涉及在CSS的研究活动和环境中设置实用的护栏。它旨在提供CSS学者，以及采用CSS方法的政策制定者和其他利益相关者，并提供批判性和建设性的手段，以确保他们的实践是道德，可信赖的和负责的。它首先提供了CSS领域研究人员面临的道德挑战的分类法。这些是与（1）研究对象的治疗相关的挑战，（2）CSS研究对受影响个人和社区的影响，（3）CSS研究及其认识论状况的质量，（4）研究完整性，以及（5）研究公平。然后将这些挑战作为文化转型的动机，然后主张将负责任的研究与创新习惯（RRI）纳入CSS实践，重点介绍了上下文考虑，预期反思，影响评估，公共参与以及合理且有据可查的行动应在整个研究生活中发挥作用的作用。在提议将RRI习惯纳入CSS实践中时，本章列出了道德，可信赖和负责任的CSS研究活动所需的几个实用步骤。其中包括利益相关者参与过程，研究影响评估，数据生命周期文档，偏见自我评估以及透明的研究报告协议。
This article is concerned with setting up practical guardrails within the research activities and environments of CSS. It aims to provide CSS scholars, as well as policymakers and other stakeholders who apply CSS methods, with the critical and constructive means needed to ensure that their practices are ethical, trustworthy, and responsible. It begins by providing a taxonomy of the ethical challenges faced by researchers in the field of CSS. These are challenges related to (1) the treatment of research subjects, (2) the impacts of CSS research on affected individuals and communities, (3) the quality of CSS research and to its epistemological status, (4) research integrity, and (5) research equity. Taking these challenges as a motivation for cultural transformation, it then argues for the end-to-end incorporation of habits of responsible research and innovation (RRI) into CSS practices, focusing on the role that contextual considerations, anticipatory reflection, impact assessment, public engagement, and justifiable and well-documented action should play across the research lifecycle. In proposing the inclusion of habits of RRI in CSS practices, the chapter lays out several practical steps needed for ethical, trustworthy, and responsible CSS research activities. These include stakeholder engagement processes, research impact assessments, data lifecycle documentation, bias self-assessments, and transparent research reporting protocols.
