The ASA Committee on Professional Ethics seeks input on the Ethical Guidelines for Statistical Practice, which are permanently linked here:
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. An alternative to revisions are contributions to the Linked Discussion; these appear as numbered footnotes on the URL above (under the “Discussion” tab). The contributions to this Discussion are reviewed annually by the Committee.
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).
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.
All suggestions received through these discussion threads will be considered by the Committee.
