Abstract

This article focuses on ethical concepts and thinking processes, their application to professional issues, and to the information professional in particular. Information professionals, like other professionals, have developed codes of ethics which as regulatory mechanisms may not in themselves nurture ethical attitudes. At the same time traditional professional relationships are being altered by the introduction of a business view of the client-professional relationship. Ethical attitudes need to be inculcated into information professional practice via educational programs by drawing from a number of ethical theories and practice models within a notion of an ethical community of common interests which can also apply in a virtual environment.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
