Abstract: As sociologists, we are trained to think about our research techniques: we think carefully about how we gather our data. We are made to pay attention to every detail of the data gathering, whether we are doing large scale surveys; secondary analysis of existing data sets, or qualitative work of whatever sort. Our data gathering is subject to scrutiny by outside reviewers, in the form of Institutional Review Boards or Ethics Boards, which make sure that we are acting ethically in the gathering of our data.
