Toward Ethical Digital Practices: Guidelines for Consent, Accountability, and Transparency in Anthropology

These results highlight the gap in practice and guidelines for digital ethics. We propose immediate action items, including the development of a cross-cultural, disciplinary working group to generate cohesive digital ethics standards, explicit statements on digital human remains in donor forms, the addition of digital best practice standards into organizations' ethics codes, and ethics statements added to current digital platforms. These proposed ethical guidelines and questions for donor forms are provided for these action items.
