Ethical and consent considerations
• questions of confidentiality and agreements made at the time of fieldwork
• archived data should always conform to ethical and legal guidelines with respect to the preservation of anonymity when this has been requested by informants or guaranteed to them
• achieve this by various strategies– consent for archiving– controlling access (e.g., legal undertakings to protect
confidentiality, licences, vetting)– editing the original data
