Comment on the Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice

The ASA Committee on Professional Ethics seeks input on the Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice. The guidelines are available at http://www.amstat.org/ASA/Your-Career/Ethical-Guidelines-for-Statistical-Practice.aspx

The Guidelines are scheduled for revision every five years (starting April 2016), although in special cases, revisions may be considered earlier in this cycle. Guideline revisions must be reviewed by the ASA Community and approved by the ASA Board. 

In order to contribute a recommendation for revision to the Guidelines, or for a comment for the linked discussion, we have created discussion threads for each of the Guidelines' individual principles. Please comment on the principle(s) most directly related to your suggestion(s).

Purpose of the Guidelines

Principles:

  1. Professional Integrity and Accountability

  2. Integrity of Data and Methods

  3. Responsibilities to Science/Public/Funder/Client

  6. Responsibilities to Other Statisticians or Statistics Practitioners

  7. Responsibilities Regarding Allegations of Misconduct

  8. Responsibilities of Employers, Including Organizations, Individuals, Attorneys, or Other Clients Employing Statistical Practitioners


Your suggestions should be as specific and complete as possible so that the Committee or its designated Working Group can review and consider your suggestions and input.
