论文摘要
我们的章节对发表的科学研究或科学研究案例研究进行了范围审查，该研究利用了公民科学家和物联网设备。具体来说，我们选择了研究，其中作者至少对研究过程中遇到的道德问题进行了简短的讨论。对五个数据库进行了搜索（IEEE Xplore，Scopus，Web of Science，Proquest和PubMed），我们确定了631个潜在结果。在摘要和标题筛选之后，然后全文资格评估，我们确定了34个已发表的文章，这些文章符合我们的标准。然后，我们对这些文章的全文进行了归纳和活力分析，将道德问题编码为三个主要类别。这些类别是自主性和数据隐私，数据质量和知识产权。我们还分析了这些文章的全文，以查看研究人员采取了哪些战略来解决这些道德问题，以及提出的任何法律含义。经过此分析，我们的讨论为希望将公民科学家和物联网设备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。其次，科学研究人员应考虑在建立项目之前，包括是否可能需要妥协的任何潜在问题，包括是否需要妥协。最后，所有知识产权问题都应在项目开始和生命周期期间阐明。研究人员还应考虑任何可能从使用市售物联网设备进行研究的道德问题。
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.
