There are many considerations around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility that inform researchers' perspectives, practices, and decisions regarding their data.* Although some disciplines have extensive research ethics histories that include detailed data practices, many do not. Many researchers end up learning best practices either through trial and error, or from whatever personal and professional networks they happen to have. Our goal with this project is to collate and make visible some of the resources relevant to different stages of work with data throughout a research project. That is, we sought to include resources with practical applications at various decision points in the research process. When this project was started in mid-2018, there were many fewer resources available. As these conversations have become more frequent, additional resources are being created.
*A good short introduction to the types of intersections between DEIA considerations and data that might arise during a research project can be found in the Principles for Advancing Equitable Data Practice report.
