Privacy in Social Science Research A Practical Guide

by Richard Jacobson

Privacy in Social Science Research A Practical Guide Introduction Privacy is a fundamental human right, and it is essential for the conduct of social science research. Social scientists rely on the trust of their participants to provide them with accurate and complete information, and this trust can only be maintained if participants' privacy is protected. In recent years, there has been growing concern about the privacy of social science research data. This concern is due to a number of factors, including the increasing use of digital technologies in research, the rise of big data, and the increasing awareness of privacy issues among the public. This book provides a practical guide to privacy in social science research. It covers the key concepts of privacy, the legal and ethical frameworks that govern privacy in research, and the practical steps that researchers can take to protect the privacy of their participants. The book is intended for social science researchers at all levels of experience.
