Abstract
The use of big data research methods has grown tremendously in both academia and industry. One of the most fundamental rules of responsible big data research is the steadfast recognition that most data represent or impact people. For some projects, sharing data is an expectation of the human participants involved and thus a key part of ethical research. Research involving human participants at federally funded institutions is governed by IRBs charged with preventing harm through well-established procedures and are familiar to many researchers. Although codes of conduct will vary depending on the topic and research community, a particularly important element is designing data and systems for auditability. Responsible internal auditing processes flow easily into audit systems and also keep track of factors that might contribute to problematic outcomes.
