Why is it #women who disproportionately do the work of ethics reporting in #politicalscience and #internationalrelations?👩🏼💻 Reporting on #researchethics in publications has taken on greater importance in recent years as a means of modelling best practice and building trust in these fields. But there are inequalities evident in data on who carries out this labour. Examining these reports across two decades of publications, Eleanor Knott (LSE Department of Methodology) and Denisa Kostovicova (LSE European Institute) show how ethics work remains a marginal and highly gendered activity, via LSE Impact Blog 👇

This week the Project on Ethics in Political Communication is reading the US Supreme Court ethics statement, and watching for Republican responses to Trump's increasingly authoritarian rhetoric. https://lnkd.in/d3YQmec7

The Journal of Media Law & Ethics (ISSN 1940-9389) invites theoretical and analytical manuscripts that advance the understanding of media law and ethics in society. Submissions may have a legal, historical, or social science orientation, but they must focus on media law, policy or ethics. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. All manuscripts undergo blind peer review.  JMLE is published by the Kansas State University A.Q. Miller School of Media and Communication as a quarterly or occasional journal. Links to past issues and additional information about JMLE may be accessed at https://lnkd.in/dg9r49pr.  Past issues have published articles in disinformation, social media influencing, defamation, privacy, copyright, censorship, licensing, indecency, media access, reporters’ privilege, news accuracy, bias, rule of law, and media literacy.

Manuscript preparation:  The ideal length for submitted papers is 20-30 double-spaced pages (6,000 to 8,000 words using 12-point Times Roman or equivalent type), including footnotes, tables, and figures. Longer manuscripts will be considered when they are particularly compelling. Manuscripts should be prepared using Microsoft Word or converted to that format. Footnotes should be in Bluebook form. Tables and figures must be “camera ready,” formatted to 5.5 inches in width and no more than 7.5 inches in height. The first page should contain the title of the manuscript, names, and affiliations of the author(s), contact addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. Only the first page should include identifying information. The second page should contain the manuscript title, an abstract of 150-250 words, and five keywords for referencing the document in electronic databases.  Inquiries and manuscripts should be directed to the editor, Nikhil Moro, Ph.D., at [email protected].

Revealing our Ethics and Values New interview Information Professional Magazine. A new piece of work to support advocacy work in libraries has put ethics and values at the heart of those conversations. Senior Lecturer in Information Studies at University of Glasgow, Dr David McMenemy, created the REVEAL toolkit and here he explains how to make best use of it, and why it is needed. Information Professional is CILIP's member magazine for Information, Knowledge and Library workers in all sectors. The magazine brings you the latest News, Insight and In Depth reporting from across the profession. How we advocate for our library services is a something that shouldn’t be taken for granted. We need to think about why we are doing it and what we hope to achieve by it. As budgets continue to be cut, so the need for effective advocacy increases – if libraries and information services are fighting for a share of a dwindling pot, then the advocacy on behalf of those services becomes ever more valuable. So how can we ensure that our advocacy is effective and why should we be thinking about the ethical values when we are talking about services? Reinforcing Ethics and Values for Effective Advocacy for Libraries (REVEAL) is David’s response to those questions. He says that while we may not always consider it an ethics-driven enterprise, advocacy has always been based around the values associated to the activity.

Global Media Ethics: A Feminist Intervention Special Issue for Feminist Media Studies Proposed Special Issue Editors: Lindsay Palmer, University of Wisconsin-Madison Radhika Gajjala, Bowling Green State University This special issue brings these three strands of scholarship—global media ethics, feminist media ethics, and transnational feminist theory—into conversation with each other. By doing so, we hope to push global media ethicists to focus more intentionally on gender by drawing on intersectional feminist theories to do so. Additionally, we want to explore how feminist media ethicists would benefit from thinking outside the U.S. and Britain, particularly in a way that considers the intersectionality of identit(ies) that complicate feminist agendas in a globalized world. Potential paper topics include (but are not limited to): Ethical representations of cis-women, trans* and/or nonbinary people in international journalism, transnational cinema, global entertainment media, or social media Ethical approaches to representing masculinities in transnational media Ethics, gender, and transnational media production Ethics, gender, and social movements Ethics, gender, and war Ethics, gender, and transnational media consumption Transnational feminist critiques of media ethics theory Abstracts due: March 1, 2024 Completed first drafts due: June 1, 2024 Reviewer comments returned: September 31, 2024 Revised papers due: October 31, 2024 Final Manuscripts and Editor Intro Submitted: December 31, 2024 Abstracts can be submitted directly to the special issue editors at [email protected].

The engaging Research Support Christmas calendar (9) 🎄 🎅 Institutional support of research ethics and compliance – being helpful vs being an obstacle   Syddansk Universitet - University of Southern Denmark (SDU) was the first Danish university to establish an institutional research ethics committee (REC) spanning across all the research domains of the university. The initial REC proposal was made by Kirsten Ohm Kyvik, head of the Clinical Dept. who worked with ethics for decades, and Olaf Svenningsen, a very experienced research supporter with a history from both NIH, DARMA and EARMA. Today, the REC has received US Institutional Review Board approval and is facilitating a national network for Danish research ethics committees. SDU has performed well in winning US federal funds, especially from NIH. The US ethics demands and the wish to offer institutional ethical advice were the main reasons for establishing the REC in the first place (2018/2019). However, we also had our eyes on the European ethics demands and on ethical support in the application phase and in grant agreement negotiations with the Commission. Jakob Ousager is responsible for ethics support at SDU, helping the REC (consisting of researchers and external members) in ethics evaluations and approvals, advising researchers on ethics components in applications, and in one instance being directly associated as ethics advisor in a European project. We will probably not offer our REC support person for EU projects again, as we simply don’t have the capacity. Instead, we now rely fully on internal and external ethics experts with domain expertise, according to the ethics needs of the project. To be conceived as helpful (instead of an obstacle) by researchers, you will probably need to be pragmatic in dealing with ethic approvals. If you are too ‘ethics high-profile’ and 'process-rigid', some researchers will feel they waste their time and perhaps find other ways. To promote proper ethical conduct in research overall, please consider how to get the researchers on board and then build over time. You may be able to find inspiration for ethics in a Horizon Europe context in EARMA’s Ethics and Research Integrity Officer Network (ERION; see link in the comments below).
