Highlights

 IRBs are university committees that approve, monitor, and review behavioral and biomedical research involving humans.

 Consult AoIR and other professional research associations’ guidelines before collecting data that involves humans.

 You must use all available evidence to determine whether data you are considering using should be considered to be in the public or private domain.

 If data are in the public domain, you must determine whether users have a reasonable expectation of privacy.

 In order to make determinations about users’ expectation of privacy, note whether the websites, apps, or other platforms you are using to collect data require member registration and whether they include privacy policies that specify users’ privacy expectations.

 In your research papers, always use pseudonyms for users’ user names and full names.

 Because the process of seeking informed consent is onerous and requires the creation and administration of an IRB-approved informed consent form, text mining researchers often prefer to use data that are clearly in the public domain.

 Authorship and publishing present ethical challenges due to power dynamics within universities (see O’Leary, 2014, Chapter 4). In case you are concerned about authorship and publication of your own work or the work of a friend or colleague, you should consult the Davis–Madsen ethical scenarios and other web resources listed at the end of the chapter.
