Data Ethics in Library Learning Analytics

Introduction: This study examines data handling and data ethics in library learning analytics research projects involving the use of data about students as library patrons, alongside a baseline evaluation of the benefits of library learning analytics to libraries practicing it. Methods: Citations were gathered via citation chain aggregation from the original Value of Academic Libraries report, then winnowed to projects with English-language artifacts documenting them, collection and/or analysis of library data about students, and a research question about the contribution of student library use to student success. Results and Discussion: Much of this research is reaching publication despite not employing best practices nor documenting respect for human-subjects research ethics, library-specific privacy and confidentiality ethics, and student data-privacy expectations. Very few projects create direct benefits to libraries. This result would not be possible without gaps or lapses in editorial processes, peer review, and upstream research guidance and ethics reviews. Conclusion: Ethics reforms are required at all stages of research and publication to prevent further unethical exploitation of patron data.

Revisiting sex as a biological variable in hypertension research.

Half of adults in the United States have hypertension as defined by clinical practice guidelines. Interestingly, women are generally more likely to be aware of their hypertension and have their blood pressure controlled with treatment compared with men, yet hypertension-related mortality is greater in women. This may reflect the fact that the female sex remains underrepresented in clinical and basic science studies investigating the effectiveness of therapies and the mechanisms controlling blood pressure. This Review provides an overview of the impact of the way hypertension research has explored sex as a biological variable (SABV). Emphasis is placed on epidemiological studies, hypertension clinical trials, the genetics of hypertension, sex differences in immunology and gut microbiota in hypertension, and the effect of sex on the central control of blood pressure. The goal is to offer historical perspective on SABV in hypertension, highlight recent studies that include SABV, and identify key gaps in SABV inclusion and questions that remain in the field. Through continued awareness campaigns and engagement/education at the level of funding agencies, individual investigators, and in the editorial peer review system, investigation of SABV in the field of hypertension research will ultimately lead to improved clinical outcomes.
